In our latest episode of Untold Physio Stories, Dr. Wells and I dive into a fascinating case of a swimmer whose coach missed a glaring mechanical flaw: crossing the midline. 🚫
We talk about:
The "Outside Eye" Advantage: Why a fresh perspective (ours!) is often the missing piece in an athlete's performance puzzle.
The Impingement Zone: How that extra-long pull—thinking it adds power—actually drives the shoulder straight into a repetitive stress trap. 🛑
Manual Therapy Magic: Using posterior and anterior glides to reset arthrokinematics and get those shoulders moving safely again. 👐
