I’ve been doing rehab on my right shoulder for the past year. At some unknown point in the past, I stopped using the correct muscles to move my shoulder blade and started using much less efficient ones. This has resulted in tension and pain in the muscles on the right side of my neck, upper back, & chest. As I started doing more aerial and partner acrobatics, the instability in that shoulder became more and more pronounced.

Having to rebuild your strength and flexibility after an injury is soooo frustrating. It’s easy to get impatient and want to push harder than your body is ready for.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when I say the word fitness?

I’m pretty sure you don’t want to lose weight by cutting off your leg. But when you use the term “weight loss” to talk about your goals, you may as well be saying that. Weight loss by any means?
