This time, the session focused on treatments to improve pelvic movement. In any sport, movement starts from the pelvis, followed by the spine. After that, the movement transfers to the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles. When the pelvis and spine move properly, power can be generated without placing excessive stress on the shoulders or elbows.
For example, in baseball, proper movement of the pelvis and spine allows a player to throw without overloading the shoulder or elbow. In golf, the pelvis and spine move first, followed by the shoulders, elbows, and wrists, transferring force to the ball through the golf club. If the movement of the pelvis and spine is limited, the motion relies too much on the shoulders, elbows, and wrists. This places excessive stress on these joints and can lead to shoulder pain, golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow, or wrist pain.
In cases such as golfer’s elbow, treating only the elbow does not address the root cause of the problem. It is essential to first restore proper movement in the pelvis and spine. Improving pelvic and spinal mobility reduces the load on the shoulders and elbows.
At Pain Away, we do not simply treat the painful area. Instead, we identify the underlying cause of the problem and provide fundamental treatment. At many medical facilities, when a patient has elbow pain, treatment is often limited to electrical therapy or massage on the elbow alone, or similarly only on the shoulder. But does that truly address the root cause?
At Pain Away, we hold a full staff training session once a month, and individual staff training sessions once a week. We also regularly introduce new techniques and theories from Japan and provide ongoing education to our Thai staff.
