The article focuses on Shoulder Impingement Syndrome (SIS), a prevalent condition characterized by the compression of soft tissues between the humeral head and the acromion process. Topics include the biomechanical causes of SIS such as rotator cuff weakness, scapular upward rotation musculature weakness, and clavicular dysfunction, which all contribute to impingement and potential damage to shoulder structures.

The article focuses on palpation techniques for the anterior hip flexors. It highlights the importance of joint actions and location relative to adjacent muscles. It emphasizes the need for accurate palpation of the tensor fasciae latae, rectus femoris, sartorius, iliacus, psoas major, and pectineus, and it discusses the need for confirmation of muscle engagement for accurate assessment.

The article focuses on Dr. Joe Muscolino's favorite manual therapy techniques, emphasizing fundamental skills and effective approaches for neck, piriformis, and scapular-rib cage massage.

The article explores how postural dysfunctional patterns of the pelvis can impact the posture of the spine. Topics include client presents with a postural dysfunctional pattern of the spine is natural to assume the cause of the dysfunctional pattern resides in the spine; and muscular imbalance at the hip joints or dysfunctional patterns in the lower extremity with root cause of pelvic dysfunction.

The article focuses on forward head posture (FHP) is the name given to a sagittal-plane postural distortion pattern in which, as the name implies, the head is held forward. Topics include the excessive flexion of the neck at the cervical spinal joints, as well as excessive forward translation and extension of the head at the atlanto-occipital joint, and the net result is the center of weight of the head is anterior to the trunk.

The article explains the concept of scapulohumeral rhythm or the kinematic chain of movements between the scapula and the humerus. Topics mentioned include the role of the clavicle in the movement of the scapula, the implication of scaption for exercise, and the types of scapulohumeral rhythms for the motion of the arm at the glenohumeral joint including humeral lateral rotation couples with scapular retraction and humeral medial rotation.
