Millions of people have felt pain in their shoulders at some time. This pain can drastically limit your everyday lifestyle. Many people never know if their shoulder injuries are severe or if they are minor injuries. If you have had a shoulder injury you may have been told to get surgery for it or get a shot for it and I will discuss when is the right time to get surgery for a shoulder injury and when is the right time to manage the injury with exercise and physical therapy. If you have been told you have a partial thickness tear you may not know what that means or what your recovery path will look like. All these unknowns with shoulder pain can be scary. I want to take the fear out of shoulder injuries for you and I hope you learn more about what injury you may be dealing with and what tests to do to determine if surgery is needed or not. Sit back and enjoy this Podcast on shoulder and rotator cuff injuries.

Pain is something we all have experienced to some degree in our life, and everyone would admit they do not like pain or would like to try and minimize pain as much as possible. One aspect of pain that gets overlooked is unknown causes of pain that result in fear and suffering from the pain. once someone knows the what, why to their pain it is much more easy to understand. In this Podcast I start on a long journey to help you understand better what is pain what causes  it and what makes it worse and what helps it go away. This first part will cover primarily what pain is and what types of pain there are and what is the difference between chronic pain and acute pain and why does acute pain sometimes result in chronic pain. I will also explain in this three part podcast what other systems of the body affect severity of pain rating and what you can do to improve your pain and get back to a life you love living with less pain.

Part 2 on pain explains the different systems involved with pain and specifically chronic pain. Many systems in the body play a part with improving or worsening pain symptoms. Genetics also play a part with pain tolerance and pain thresholds. If you have been in pain for more than 6 months and no improvement has been felt there is something missing with your care. In this Podcast I will discuss other body systems that play a part in pain responses and preception of pain. Autoimmune conditions and chronic inflammation or inflammatory diets can perpetuate some of the chronic pain symptoms that may have been started from an injury that the body has not successfully healed. Next podcast will cover solutions for pain issues and chronic pain problems.

Part three of our pain discussion focuses on managing and removing causes of chronic pain. when pain lasts for more than six months it is considered chronic. when chronic pain starts it shifts how the brain perceives pain and stress hormones can be out of balance also worsening the symptoms of pain. We will go into more details on what YOU can do to improve the severity of pain, but also touch on other drivers such as emotional pain and stress that can worsen your injury pain. I will also give advice on other heath care specialists that can help with reducing and relieving your chronic pain.

The Owens Recovery Science Podcast is your source for what's new and established in the blood flow restriction literature. Blood flow restriction training or BFR is an exercise technique used by many rehab and performance practitioners to increase muscle size, strength, and endurance through the use of lighter weights and lower intensities than originally thought necessary. Johnny Owens, PT and his team have trained more than 15,000 clinicians on how to integrate BFR into rehab and performance settings. In their podcast they keep you to date on the latest developments in the literature and innovation within the field.
