Does your sleep get affected by snoring? Do you know if you can breathe better at night time AND during the day will help you sleep better too?
⠀
In this video, Dr. Li interviewed Dr. Rebecca Bockow, a Seattle orthodontist. She specializes in helping patients with snoring, sleep apnea, and other upper airway issues to help patients sleep better.
⠀
We discussed various topics from how our mouth's development through childhood affects our breathing to what you can do as adults to get more out of every breath, literally!
⠀
We have been helping our patients maximize their health, and a big part of their health is to be able to sleep well, which leads Dr. Li to continue to explore different ways to help his patients and himself to get more restful nights.

Does your 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 hurt when you raise your arm? 🤕 If that's you, keep reading! ✨Dr. Li will go over a 𝙨𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 for your shoulder pain and a 𝙨𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙚 to address multiple items related to your anterior shoulder pain.
⠀
Anterior shoulder (front of the shoulder) pain is not fun. It makes reaching for something such as the shelf much harder than it should be and a bad start to the morning when you want to get your cereal on top of your fridge.
⠀
In our 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 clinic, we found many front shoulder pain patients also have problems with the lack of proper movement at the 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮 (shoulder blade). This video will show you how to move better at your shoulder blade. It is also combined with proper posture at the neck and spine to make your shoulder work better than before, so you don't have to suffer from it!
⠀
This simple, effective exercise is always overlooked because, well, it's simple. You are busy at home and work, and you don't need a million different exercises to address your pain, and that's what we always keep in mind.
⠀
The quadruped position and the progression of this exercise help address multiple issues all at once:
⠀
✅proper loading at the shoulder joint (the glenohumeral joint) to train the rotator cuff muscles to work properly
⠀
✅ teaching the scapula (the shoulder blade) how to move in sequence with the arm (the humerus), hence decrease the impingement at the shoulder
⠀
✅ fix your neck posture and core too!
⠀
If you find it helpful, we would always appreciate it if you can give it a 👍 and share it with someone you know who can benefit from it!

Do you always wonder when do you use heat? Or when to use ice for your injuries or your pain? No worries! Many of our patients asked that question too 🙋🏻‍♂️.
⠀
That's why we made this video to help all of you understand when and why you use either modality for your injuries/ pain.🤓
⠀
At our 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 clinic, we want to maximize our patients' time with us. Hence, they get the most 🅱🅴🅽🅴🅵🅸🆃 from each of their sessions with treatment and better understand their condition. More importantly, they will get to do what they can do for themselves in between sessions to keep progress.
⠀
With better knowledge of their conditions and the application of modalities like heat or ice for their home use, our patients get to improve their progress 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙛𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧!
⠀
Hope you find the information helpful. If you do, please give the video a 🧡 and 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 it with someone you know who needs to know how to use the heat and icing better.
⠀
I will be answering more FAQs like this in future videos. 🄵🄾🄻🄻🄾🅆 us to get the latest videos update!

🤔Why would one choose to do a front squat? Or why would one do any exercises for any reason? 🤔 Keep reading to find out how we modify a classic exercise to address a patient's multiple issues.
⠀
Most folks may find front squat a classic "weightlifting" exercise, but to us, it's a very versatile exercise.
⠀
In this case, we were able to address 🅵🅾🆄🆁 issues with 𝗢𝗡𝗘 exercise:
⠀
✅ Postural correction for our work from home patient here 🙌🏻
✅ Neck/ Shoulders stability work to further enforce the postural correction. Say bye-bye to those neck pain and tension headache. 🙅🏽‍♂️
✅ Core work (Yes! If done properly, you will feel tremendous core engagement with this move!). Low back pain, we got you. 🐲
✅ Get some work at the 🦵🏼, especially after sitting all day long at the desk.
⠀
We strive to give the most return of investment for our 𝕊𝕖𝕒𝕥𝕥𝕝𝕖 patients' time and effort with us both inside or outside the clinic. After giving them effective 𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒇 at the clinic, we show them a simple but very versatile "homework" to reinforce the relief and start the healing process.🙌🏼
⠀
In this case, we hit four birds with one stone. Talk about efficiency, eh! You know I am all about making it simple for you to do the most effective item for your health.

✨Are your wrists 😵after working in front of the computer all day? ✨Keep reading 👇🏼
⠀
That nagging wrists pain, or worse, your hands and wrists feel like they are dead, and you don’t feel like doing anything after work just sucks. There goes the rest of the night doing anything for ⓎⓄⓊⓇⓈⒺⓁⒻ and not work-related.
⠀
Good news. You don’t have to suffer!
⠀
I will show you 3️⃣ simple tips on giving LIFE back to your wrists and to YOU, so you can still enjoy the rest of the day (and life) after work. 🙌🏼
⠀
It does take some planning ahead of a workday, and you know the say of one ounce of prevention is worth a ton of reaction. In this case, let’s get you set up for 🆂🆄🅲🅲🅴🆂🆂 instead of keep reacting to the pain afterward.
⠀
Let’s get to it.💪
⠀
Tip 1️⃣ - Set up Set up Set up.
- Learn how to properly set up your keyboard (spoiler alert: it may not be what you have been told before)
⠀
Tip 2️⃣ – Is stretching right for you?
- Stretching can actually make your wrists pain hurt more, even if you feel some relief initially
⠀
Tip 3️⃣ – Look Upstream to the shoulders!
- Your wrists pain maybe symptoms from somewhere else
⠀
We always start with a thorough exam at each case. We understand you feel the pain in the wrists.
⠀
Still, after a comprehensive exam (yes, we check more than “just” your wrists for your wrists pain), we found other dysfunction somewhere else usually. We help our patients get rid of their chronic wrists pain 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐲 and eradicate it for all.
⠀
How do we eradicate our patients’ wrist pain? We teach them how to fish (how to fix their pain and prevent it from happening) after giving them the fish (pain relief).
⠀
It does take effort to do the follow up “homework,” but do you want to do that, or do you want to hurt again?
⠀
🙅🏽‍Or keep taking medications, or worse yet, have an unnecessary carpal tunnel “release” surgery, and have the same pain comes back also?
⠀

🔥Want to get even more out of your workout? Read here 👇🏼 to find out how. 🔥
⠀
Let's be clear. We ALL want to get even more out of a workout. After all, more reps = more GAINS. 💪🏽
⠀
🤓In the clinic, we like to keep up with the latest research to provide the best and most effective treatment for our patients!
⠀
👍🏼In this case, faster recovery from exercise = speedier recovery for our patients' injuries too!
⠀
This research published in the Journal from in 2019 showed us that putting your hands on your knees versus over your head will help you recover faster.
⠀
Here are the three things they found:
⠀
1️⃣ improved heart rate recovery
⠀
2️⃣ greater volume of carbon dioxide (aka, better buffering/clearing of the metabolic by-product during your exercise)
⠀
3️⃣ greater tidal volume (aka, more volume of air with each breath)
⠀
Let us do all the boring readings and use that information to help you be an even healthier version of yourself!
⠀
I hope you find this tip helpful.
⠀

Has your neck 🅵🆁🅾🆉🅴🅽 🆄🅿 after you turned your head quickly? 😭FIND OUT HOW TO GET RID OF THAT HERE 👇🏼
⠀
Did you know this kind of neck pain usually happens as compensation for your shoulders muscles not working properly?
⠀
At the clinic, we see many of these cases, and that’s one of the common conditions we treat.
⠀
We are going to show you how to get rid of that in three simple steps:
⠀
1️⃣ find the thick muscle along the side of your neck. That is the SCM muscle (short for sternocleidomastoid). That’s the muscle that is giving you the pain.
⠀
2️⃣ do the positional-relief (that’s the technique we showed you) and make sure you breathe through your nose during this whole time.
⠀
3️⃣ re-check your neck motion after this. Repeat as many times as you need to get your neck moving right and pain-free again.
⠀
Now, after you get the pain to go away, it’s time to dig deeper 𝐖𝐇𝐘 that SCM muscle spasm up. How? Click on the scheduling link ☝🏼to schedule a complimentary phone consultation with Dr. Li to find out how!

🙋🏻‍♂️At Mobility Plus, we believe giving patients the correct information about their conditions is empowering. Once you understand what is causing your pain, that pain is less scary.

🎯The purpose of this mini-series is our start to review some of the common injuries our patients went through. Hopefully, you will get to learn about the injuries and knowing what to do about them.

👏Once you understand the conditions and your pain, they may not seem as scary anymore.

🔥In this longer tutorial style video, we are going to walk you through 3 things:

1️⃣Understand the I mechanism of non-contact ACL injury

2️⃣Self-test on hip-pelvic control

3️⃣One of the many corrective exercises we used in the clinic

🙅🏻Slipped disc? Disc bulge? Find out more here 👇
-
What exactly happened to the disc (the little cushion between the vertebrae) that can bring so much pain?

😁I am glad you asked! Btw, the disc doesn't slip, and let's put that to rest right away.🤦🏻‍♂️
-
Disc bulges took place in the general population with microtrauma. That's fancy to say someone bends forward a lot of times at the low back, weakens the disc's shell, and allows the disc material to leak out of the disc.

An example we like to use at the clinic is to picture the disc like a jelly donut. Think of a disc bulge is like you see the jelly inside pushes out. It creates a "bump" on the donut. In this case, the jelly is staying inside the donut (cue Homer Simpson saying "umm, 🍩 here lol), and a disc herniation is when you see the actual jelly comes out.

As we always say in the clinic, knowledge is power. Once you understand how and why things hurt, the pain becomes less fearful, and that pain doesn't look that grim anymore (take that, low back pain!)

✅We are going to make more mini educational series like this. Drop us a line to let us know what you want to learn next!
