Have you ever taken time off from your sport to let a shoulder injury heal, only for it to come back as soon as you resume playing?
It’s possible to return to sport without aggravating a previous injury, and even come back stronger than before, but there are a few important things you need to keep in mind!
That's why we’ve compiled some common issues we've personally treated in patients with shoulder pain in our free guide: Blast Past Sport-Related Shoulder Pain.
You’ll learn 9 tips to ease annoying, daily, irritating shoulder pain naturally - before it gets any worse.

Eastlake Physical Therapy - Shoulder, Arm & Hand Therapy, PT for Athletes
There is a popular myth that you need to have an injury to go to Occupational Therapy.
In reality, OT helps anyone who has limited function in their hands or upper extremities. This could be from an injury but could also include stroke, arthritis, amputation, surgery, or just loss of strength.
Put simply, occupational therapy addresses the pain that makes your daily tasks more challenging, such as:
👉 Recreational activities
👉 Taking care of your family
👉 Driving
👉 Housework
👉 Pain from poor ergonomics (like a new home office setup)
We teach patients new or modified methods for performing routine activities. That means we might show you a different way of holding a pen to be more comfortable as part of your OT plan.
At MoveMend, our goal is to keep you as independent as possible and go through your day with less pain.
Are you experiencing pain when you perform routine tasks? Are tasks that once seemed effortless more challenging to do now? Schedule an OT evaluation to see if occupational therapy could help you.

Did you know most people who are diagnosed with Tennis Elbow don’t play tennis? Tennis elbow refers to pain that's located on the outside, bony part of the elbow, on the side that is furthest away from your trunk.
With Tennis Elbow, the pain can be severe and can limit hand function as well as the ability to do daily activities, like lifting objects, pushing or pulling, and playing the sports you enjoy.
If that sounds familiar, don’t worry. That's exactly why we’ve created this free elbow pain workshop: How to recover from Tennis Elbow ASAP, even if you're not a tennis player.
You’ll learn the simple exercises to check if you might have Tennis Elbow, and how to eliminate elbow pain for good.

With the new statewide restrictions put in place earlier this week by Gov. Jay Inslee, we’ve been getting calls about whether MoveMend is still open.
Yes, we are definitely open! As a physical therapy and occupational therapy clinic, we are considered an essential service.
We follow strict protocols around masks, sanitizing common areas and treatment rooms, and have restricted capacity in the clinic. You can also still come and safely work out with your trainer (masks are required at all times in the clinic), as we have plenty of space to keep socially distant while working out and have added additional cleaning time between appointments.
If you’re dealing with pain or an injury, or you just want to come in for your regular training session, we remain open and committed to the safety, health, and wellbeing of all our clients and staff. Make an appointment today to start feeling better!

A client comes in with thumb pain and shows me a home made device that makes it feel better. She says, “Is there a splint that gives support like this?”
This looks like the beta test for what type of splint?

Side planks aren’t just for your core!
An article by Boren and colleagues from the International Journal of Sports Medicine is one of many published research findings demonstrating that planks highly recruit your glutes.
By doing side plank variations in which you are lifting the top leg in the air, both sets of glutes will have to strongly engage. Watch this video for a side plank variation to get your glutes working!
It can sometimes be difficult to determine the cause of back pain, but sciatica is a common culprit. This can result in painful or tingling sensations in the lower back, buttocks, thighs, or legs.
If you have been living with back pain and you think it could be caused by sciatica, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with us today! https://1l.ink/FQ7G2FC

I’m in Colorado this week, hitting the slopes, so how did I get ready? Just hanging out doing wall sits with Ginny for 30 minutes😂 🤪 Sitting might be the new smoking, but wall sits definitely aren’t!
Does your coach work right along side you, or do they stand there and tell you what to do, maybe based off of how they’re feeling that day (not how you're feeling!) or a new trend that caught their eye? A coach works beside you to help you improve, following a program based on science and customized for your goals to help you reach peak performance. A trainer just puts you through workouts. Who do you want by your side?
