Shoulder pain during the CrossFit Open isn’t random.
It’s usually a workload or control issue.

Every year we see the same pattern:
High-volume pull-ups, muscle-ups, snatches, HSPU… then a front-of-shoulder pinch shows up in Week 2.

Most athletes guess.
They stretch more. Tape it. Hope it settles down.

But shoulder irritation during the CrossFit Open is typically about:
• Fatigue breaking down scap control
• Pressing more than you pull
• Spiking overhead volume
• Losing rib position under load

This quick self-assessment will help you tell the difference between normal soreness and something that needs real attention.

The goal isn’t to survive Week 1.
It’s to compete all 3 weeks without digging a hole you can’t climb out of.

If you’re a CrossFit athlete in San Diego and your shoulder feels questionable, get in before it becomes a bigger problem.

Book a session with us before, during, or after the Open.
Let’s keep you crushing it 🔥

How to Brace While Lifting (Without Bearing Down)

If you’re bracing like you’re trying to 💩, push, or hold your breath forever…
that’s bearing down, not bracing.

And over time, that can lead to:
• Low back pain
• Hip pain
• Pressure or heaviness
• Leaking during lifts

Proper bracing = 360° core support.
Ribs down, diaphragm + deep core + pelvic floor working together (not pushing down into the pelvis).

In this front squat, notice:
✔️ Breath expands the ribs and belly
✔️ Pelvic floor stays responsive (not clenched, not pushed)
✔️ Core creates stiffness to protect the spine
✔️ Power comes up and out, not down

This matters for:
• Heavy lifting
• CrossFit & functional training
• Postpartum athletes
• Anyone with back, hip, or pelvic floor symptoms

If lifting causes leaking, pain, or pressure, that’s feedback, not failure.

Save this. Share it with your lifting buddy. And if this hit a little too close to home → DM us “BRACE”.

Our 3 Core Principles (aka: how we actually do things)

At Athletic Edge, care isn’t random, it’s intentional.
These are the non-negotiables that guide every session, every program, every decision.

Performance-Driven Care:
Progress isn’t a guess. We build plans around outcomes that matter to you and adjust in real time as your body gets stronger, faster, and more capable.

Client Alignment:
We listen first (always). Your goals, your lifestyle, your sport — care should fit the person doing the work, not the other way around.

Innovation (done on purpose):
No cookie-cutter protocols here. We combine current research with proven methods to deliver thoughtful, effective care, not routines built for convenience.

This is how we help active people rehab smarter, train better, and keep moving forward.

Low back pain shouldn’t end your deadlift career.
It should change how you train — temporarily.

At our San Diego sports physical therapy clinic, we don’t just tell you to “rest” or stop lifting. We look at:
✔️ how your hips load
✔️ how your core transfers force
✔️ how your nervous system tolerates intensity
✔️ and why deadlifts started hurting in the first place

This session shows exactly how we help athletes with low back pain:
➡️ manual therapy to calm symptoms
➡️ targeted hip + trunk mobility
➡️ motor control and active range of motion
➡️ progressive return to deadlifts — pain-free and confident

Whether you’re a CrossFit athlete, powerlifter, or recreational lifter, the goal isn’t avoiding the barbell — it’s earning your way back to it.

📍Serving athletes in San Diego (Mira Mesa • Sorrento Valley • Carmel Valley • La Jolla)
💪 Lift strong. Lift smart. Lift pain-free.

Ways to use the “intimate rose vibrating wand” for tight pelvic floor symptoms (check next slide for symptoms list).

**do not use this until you’ve seen a pelvic floor PT or pelvic floor specialist who informed you that you have a tight pelvic floor and would in fact benefit from this**

Recommended use: 2-3 x a week, spending 30-60 seconds on any tight areas;

Get into a comfortable position in bed (relaxed back or lying on side) use a water based lubricant like “slippery when wet”, support your back and side knees with pillows so you’re in maximum comfort, then start with gentle pressure externally, and venturing internally slowly.

For re**al insertion, lye on your side with a pillow between knees.

If you have ANY questions about this or would like to set up an in person or virtual appointment we’d love to help you, just send us a DM!
