Shoulder Muscles 💪

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body — thanks to 17 powerful muscles working together for stability and movement!

From the rotator cuff to the deltoids, lats, pecs, and scapular stabilizers, each muscle plays a key role in lifting, reaching, rotating, and supporting your arm through daily activities.

Strong, well-balanced shoulder muscles = better movement, less pain, and improved performance. 💪

Pectoral Stretch 🙌🏼

If you spend a lot of time at a computer or working with your hands in front of you, this stretch is for you! Sit or stand, bend your shoulders and elbows into a “goal post” position, gently arch your upper chest backward, and take a deep breath in. 🌬️

This stretch targets the pec minor, a key muscle that often contributes to rounded shoulders and poor posture. A few minutes a day can help open your chest and improve posture! ✨

Get Outside & Go for a Walk! 🍂

The leaves may be mostly down, but that just means it’s time for some crunchy walks! 🍁 Enjoy the fresh air, clear trails, and that satisfying sound under your feet before the colder weather rolls in.

Walking is one of the simplest ways to boost your mood, circulation, and joint health — so lace up and get moving! 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

Take a Moment to Breathe 🌿

Pause what you’re doing and take one slow, intentional breath — just like in this video. 🌬️
It’s easy to get caught up in screens and stress, but did you know that people often hold their breath or take shallow breaths while looking at screens? This “screen apnea” can increase tension and fatigue without us even realizing it.

So today, take a moment to reset. Sit tall, breathe deeply, and let your body recharge. 💆‍♀️💻

PT Spotlight: Noah Caron, DPT! 🌟

This week we asked Noah what new tool he’s been using with patients — and he shared the “Why You Hurt” Pain Neuroscience Education System! 🧠 It’s an approach that helps patients better understand their pain, especially chronic pain, as the first step toward relief and recovery. 💪

And when it comes to Halloween candy… Noah couldn’t resist the Reese’s cups this year. 🙌 We totally agree — classic choice! What candy disappeared fastest in your house? 👻

🐾 Pet of the Week: Ryder! 🐾

Meet Ryder, our handsome chocolate lab! This loyal pup has been loving hunting season — pictured here sitting proudly in the woods after a day out in the fresh fall air. 🍂🐶

Hunting season isn’t just for the dogs — walking through the woods, carrying gear, and staying active outdoors is a great workout for balance, endurance, and strength. 💪

Who else has been getting their steps (and miles!) in this hunting season? 🦆🍁

Wellness Wednesday 🌿

Did you know that your breath plays a big role in how your body moves and feels? Proper diaphragmatic breathing supports your core and helps ease tension in your neck and shoulders — a simple way to boost posture and reduce discomfort throughout the day. Take a few deep, mindful breaths right now — your body will thank you! 🌬️💪

The Chest Wall 💪

Your chest wall is more than just your pecs! It’s a powerhouse of muscles that work together for breathing, posture, and upper body movement.

✨ Key players:

Rib cage muscles (intercostals) — help expand and contract your chest with each breath.

Pectoral muscles — power your pushing and lifting movements.

Diaphragm — the main muscle of respiration, driving every inhale and exhale.

Strong, flexible chest wall muscles support efficient breathing and shoulder mobility — key elements we focus on in physical therapy!

Wellness Wednesday with Accel Physical Therapy 🌿

A strong, coordinated core supports posture, balance, and protects your back from injury. When these muscles are weak or out of sync, even simple movements can feel harder and strain your body.

👉 Try adding planks, bird dogs, or bridges to your routine — and remember, even sitting tall and engaging your core throughout the day helps build strength!
