Of all the things to be good at I happen to be a star when it comes to shoulder mobility.
Not amazing cardiovascular fitness. Certainly not epic upper body strength. Nope, shoulder mobility. I can twist my arms around my back and almost fist pump my hands together. New party trick right there.
This discovery came about when Advance Wellness and Physiotherapy's wellness manager and personal trainer Lynsey Graham repeated the functional movement screen (FMS) that I'd done earlier this year when I first started working out there.
I'd done the FMS along with a full body biomechanical assessment by one of Advance's physiotherapists. Together, the assessments pinpointed issues with my body's movement, balance, flexibility and limb function, and ascertained underlying possible causes of stiffness and pain.
Having been working with Lynsey for several weeks now, she decided it would be a good idea to repeat the FMS and compare the latest results with my original test.
