Whew. It’s good to be back.

While my trip to San Diego may have sounded like a sweet long weekend get-away, I assure you I was hard at work. I was away taking another course as part of my ongoing participation in the Sports Medicine Acupuncture Certification Program. This session focused on assessment and treatment of common neck and upper extremity (shoulder, elbow, wrist) injuries and conditions. In addition to talking about acute trauma and over-use injuries we also looked at the role of posture in perpetuating chronic upper extremity conditions, and some ways to correct these long-standing imbalances with acupuncture, soft-tissue work and corrective exercise.

While there was quite a bit of lecture and a lot of information – there was also a huge practical component to this course (palpating, needling, manual muscle testing, soft tissue release, taping and therapeutic excercising). Not only have I refined some skills, learned some cool new techniques (all of you with SLAP tears in your glenoid labrum, I’m looking at you), but I have also experienced every single one of them (more than once). So, when I perform a not-so-fun soft-tissue release on your pec minor, believe me, I know exactly how it feels (I even have some fabulous bruising to show for it).

As a result of this course I will be integrating more postural assessment into my practice, so I can help you correct any imbalances and give you longer lasting results. Be on the lookout for a postural grid going up in the clinic in the near future!
