When a shoulder is extra sensitive and guarding hard 😬

You know the one, when even light contact feels like too much.

This setup lets the shoulder stay protected while I still get full contact and control.

From here, I can gently guide the humeral head, reduce guarding, and introduce motion without triggering a threat response.

Up, down, protraction, retraction - all while the nervous system starts to relax and trust the movement again.

This movement is simple, calm, and effective:
everything an irritated shoulder needs.

👇 What’s your go-to move when a shoulder is cranky and protective?

A good PT evaluation is more than a quick assessment and a sheet of exercises.

It should give you clarity around:

what’s actually happening

why symptoms are showing up

what your body can tolerate right now

and how progress will be measured

You deserve an evaluation that looks at the whole picture — not just where it hurts.

👉 Ready for an evaluation that actually explains your pain?

What can a passionate bodybuilder-turned-doctor teach you about training, recovery, and discipline? 🎙️💪

In this podcast episode, we sit down with Dr. Griffin Love, the newest addition to the Carolina Movement Doc team, to break down the real world of bodybuilding beyond the stereotypes.

We talk about:
✔️ why symmetry, conditioning, and nutrition matter
✔️ how stage presence is trained, not improvised
✔️ what rotational sports like baseball and golf teach us about performance
✔️ why bodybuilding is far more about discipline and consistency than “meathead” myths

From gallon water jugs to protein shakes, we debunk the clichés and explore the mindset lessons that apply to any athlete whether you lift, run, compete, or just want to move better for life.

Insightful, practical, and surprisingly relatable.

Rotational athletes face challenges traditional healthcare often misses. ⚾🏌️‍♂️🎙️

In this episode of the Move More Pod, we sit down with Dr. Griffin Love, our rotational sports specialist, to break down why baseball and golf injuries keep happening and how to prevent them before pain sidelines performance.

We cover:
✔️ why baseball players overload the posterior shoulder throwing 11 months a year
✔️ how hip limitations lead to compensation in swings and throws
✔️ the connection between feet, hips, and thoracic spine in rotational power
✔️ why treating symptoms isn’t enough for long-term performance
✔️ how targeted PT can improve metrics like club head speed, ball velocity, and carry distance

This is performance-focused physical therapy designed to keep you playing, swinging, and competing at your best.

What if traditional physical therapy isn’t failing you…
but the model is?

In this episode, Dr. Scott Jablonka breaks down how physical therapy is evolving and why passive treatments and cookie-cutter exercise plans often miss the mark.

We talk about:

Why modern PT should be movement-driven, not table-based

How hands-on techniques like spinal manipulation, mobilization, dry needling, and myofascial decompression fit into real results

The importance of blending rehab with strength training

Why treating people under fatigue actually prepares them for real life

How insurance limitations affect care and why skilled providers matter more than ever

This conversation challenges the status quo of traditional physical therapy and highlights what it can look like when it’s done with intention, expertise, and purpose.

If you’re tired of boring exercises, passive care, or “just manage it” advice, this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen to The Changing Landscape of Physical Therapy and rethink what physical therapy can be.

You don’t need a full workout to feel better.
You need movement, done consistently.

Teaching point:
Pain isn’t from sitting.
It’s from never moving.
