Ever feel like you’re fighting an uphill battle with your own habits? At Resolution Clinic, we look at the science. Most of what we do every day isn’t a choice, it’s autopilot.

Your brain is designed to save energy by turning repeated actions into subconscious routines. The good news? Once you understand how the “backstage crew” of your brain works, you can stop fighting yourself and start seeing results.

Neck and upper shoulder tightness is one of the most common complaints we see in clinic.

Most people respond by stretching the upper traps repeatedly.
That can feel good short-term… but the stiffness often comes straight back.

Why?
Because in many cases, the issue isn’t just tightness, it’s poor load tolerance and control.

The missing piece here is Strength, not just stretching

Your upper traps, mid-back, and shoulder stabilisers need to be able to handle load and movement.

Today we’re focusing on a few simple bench-supported exercises that:
• Improve scapular control
• Strengthen the upper & mid-traps
• Support healthier neck and shoulder mechanics

These target the often-neglected muscles that support posture, shoulder function, and neck comfort
If pain is sharp, worsening, or coming with nerve symptoms, get assessed properly.
Exercises should support recovery, not guesswork.

This is the Trendelenburg Test. We use it to check the strength of your Gluteus Medius (your side-butt muscle). Its main job is to keep your pelvis level when you stand or walk.

If your opposite hip drops when you stand on one leg (a “positive” test), it means that standing glute isn’t stabilizing you. That wobble happens with every step you take, leading to pain up and down the chain.

Ever heard of the Thomas Test? It’s a crucial tool in osteopathy for understanding why your back migh

We use it to assess tightness in your deep hip flexors, specifically the hidden Psoas muscle that connects your legs directly to your lumbar spine.

If your hip flexors are too short, they constantly pull on your lower back and tilt your pelvis forward. The Thomas Test helps us see exactly which muscles are tight, so we can treat the root mechanical cause of your pain, not just the symptoms.

The reason why we use metronomes in clinic
Bet you didn’t know, but they are an important tool for our osteopaths to keep their consistency while running tests.

Special tests aren’t that special… and that’s okay.
Let’s be honest, most MSK special tests aren’t magical diagnostic buttons. They don’t give you the answer. They don’t whisper secrets about your patient’s pathology. And half the time, three different clinicians will get three different results.

But here’s the real win:

Special tests still matter when you use them for what they are, not what we wish they were.

They add pieces to the puzzle, not the whole picture.
They’re useful for tracking change over time.
They support your clinical reasoning, rather than replace it.
They work best alongside history, movement assessment & load testing.

Take the Navicular Drop Test:
Not perfect.
Not highly reliable between different clinicians.
Not a definitive measure of “pronation.”
BUT…
Used consistently on the same person?
Great for understanding how their foot behaves and how it responds to rehab.

Special tests aren’t special.
Clinicians are.
It’s your reasoning, not the test, that drives better outcomes.

Keep testing. Keep thinking. Keep treating people, not protocols.
