You cannot strengthen a muscle your nervous system is protecting.

We see this all the time. A client has knee pain, their quads are weak, so they get a strengthening program.

They do the exercises for weeks and the quads are still weak. Then everyone decides they need to work harder, or maybe they failed to do their homework.

The muscle isn't the problem. The nervous system is reducing the drive to it.

When a joint is painful or irritated, the nervous system inhibits the muscles around it. It's protective, and it has a name…arthrogenic muscle inhibition. The muscle is fully capable, the nervous system just won't give you access to all of it.

The crazy thing is it doesn't take much to flip that switch.

When researchers made a healthy knee painful with a saline injection, strength dropped 5 to 15% right away, and the more it hurt, the weaker people got.

In another study, just 30 mL of fluid in a healthy knee inhibited the quads for at least two hours.

So if the nervous system has the brakes on, loading harder won't get you there. You're pushing the gas with the parking brake on.

What we do know? Only nociceptors can send the message. Treat the nociceptors and often the pain disappears, and when the pain goes, the strength very often comes back right there in the session.

Same muscle, same day.

Take the brakes off first. Then load it, and the strengthening actually has something to work with.

This is exactly what we teach in class.

Pain-free people have ugly MRIs. ALL THE TIME!

We say it at every class. And here's another study that proves it beautifully.
Researchers imaged 100 shoulders from 50 elite rock climbers. Strong, bendy. With ZERO shoulder pain.

The results?
80% rotator cuff tendinosis
79% subacromial bursitis
56% labral tears
57% humeral cartilage changes

Average age...34. 😳

Full strength in every shoulder. No positive impingement tests.

So when a shoulder does hurt, is the imaging part of it? Maybe. Maybe not. A picture can't tell you.

What we do know? Only nociceptors can send the message. Find what's sensitive, treat the nociceptors, and see what shifts.

Very often the pain disappears, even with scary imaging.

Same MRI. Happy shoulder.

Picture this. Your client walks out of your treatment room, the waiting room goes quiet, and she announces, "An hour ago I couldn't lift my knee!"

Then she hops around on one foot. Just to prove it.

That happened to RAPID therapist Michelle Ratz McGuire recently. Her client had been dealing with a Baker's cyst for three months. One session changed what her knee could do.

The abdominal wall does far more than help someone p**p. 😉
* It helps us bend, rotate and manage loads.
* It works with the diaphragm during breathing.
* It contributes to intra-abdominal pressure and support of the spine.
* Pain or sensitivity here can make movement and loading uncomfortable.
* Abdominal pain can come from the wall itself, not just the organs.
* Nerves travelling through these tissues can become irritated or entrapped.
* Surgical scars can remain sensitive or painful during movement.
* Appropriate manual therapy may help improve comfort and movement tolerance.
* Assess, treat when appropriate, add active movement and recheck.
* Not every abdomen needs treatment, and tenderness alone doesn’t identify the problem.
* New or unexplained abdominal pain needs medical assessment.
* We learned to move the contents. We also need to assess the container.

Why does that work? Because we're not chasing tight muscles that tighten right back up. We're changing the signal coming from sensitized tissue, so the nervous system stops guarding. When the signal changes, the change can stick.

"But won't I lose clients?"

Here's what actually happens. A client who gets better tells everyone. Their spouse. Their coworkers. Their gym. Your schedule fills with new people who heard you're the therapist who gets results.

That's a better business than one built on the same 20 people who never improve.

Do you have clients you've been seeing for years for the same problem? Be honest. We've all been there.

We have all done this.

We get so busy treating that we do not have time to learn anything that might actually make treating easier. We keep filling the hour, working harder, beating up our hands and doing things the way we were taught because there is no time to stop and question whether any of it still makes sense.

Sometimes being busy is not proof that our approach is working brilliantly. Sometimes it just means we have become incredibly efficient at dragging rocks.

The right education should not give you more things to cram into an already full treatment. It should help you recognize what matters, stop doing what does not and get better results without treating every body part simply because the clock says you still have 20 minutes left.

If you are exhausted from pulling the cart, it may be worth taking a look at the wheels. 😂
