CrossFit injuries Shoulder pain in CrossFit
Overhead lifts, pull-ups and handstand work load the shoulder from every angle. I treat CrossFit shoulder pain with hands-on remedial soft tissue therapy in Paddington, Brisbane.
Why CrossFit loads your shoulder
Snatches, jerks, pull-ups and handstands take the shoulder through big overhead ranges under load and fatigue, often at high reps. The rotator cuff carries a lot of that.
Rarely just the shoulder
Mid-back mobility and how the shoulder blade moves feed shoulder pain. I treat the whole pattern, not just the sore joint.
How the treatment works
Assessment
I take your history, watch how you move, and use orthopaedic testing to rule things in or out. Black and white: positive or negative.
Treatment
Hands-on soft tissue work, with real time on the table. I treat the whole area involved, not just the point of pain.
Education
You leave understanding your own body. A few sessions in, you can tell me what is happening and why. That is what keeps it from coming back.
Common questions
Can I keep training around it?
Usually with the right adjustments while we treat the cause. I will tell you what to load and what to back off once I have assessed it.
Is this a sports massage?
No. This is clinical treatment for a specific problem, not a general relaxation rub down.
Settle the shoulder properly
Book an assessment and we treat the cause, not just the sore point.
