Why is nobody talking about shoulder health?

Don't allow beat up shoulders to limit what you can do in the water and diminish the enjoyment you get from surfing

I've been fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with a lot of people 

presenting some severely dysfunctional shoulders…

aka “shoulder blockers”

I myself have been through several issues with my shoulders

7 years ago I had a serious accident while filming my best friend ice surfing

Couldn’t move my left arm for a year long

Fortunately I found the solution to it

A lot of soft tissue work, rehab exercises and massage therapy helped to get back on the wall again

Lately because of some serious overuse I have some reoccurring impingement issues that I'm still working on

As an extreme sport enthusiast, strength training coach, and massage therapist

“Upper body mobility is going to dictate your ability to surf and recover well, while not injuring the elbows and the upper back"

I realize the importance of an optimally functioning shoulder joint, to not only having a great time while surfing

but especially when aiming to improve abilities and performance

Remember, our bodies are like diamonds in the rock, precious and deserving of exquisite care

Let's treat our bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles with the reverence they deserve

Shoulder health is the cornerstone of overall athletic performance,

impacting everything from lifting weights to mastering complex yoga poses

A strong and mobile shoulder complex ensures efficient and pain-free movement

allowing individuals to excel in their chosen sports without the limitations of discomfort or injury

Prioritizing shoulder health not only enhances performance but fosters longevity

empowering individuals to pursue their athletic passions with confidence and resilience

If your shoulder is giving you problems, it is limiting your overhead mobility (shoulder flexion), limiting your hanging ability, effecting your basic movements in the water 

possibly effecting your rotational power, and likely creating muscle imbalances which can lead to all sorts of problems down the road

Essentially, a dysfunctional shoulder complex is robbing you of your surfing time

and that is what this comprehensive MOBILITY PROGRAM will help you address

This is essentially a quick chicken stew with white mushroom, pepper, garlic, ginger, thyme, tomato. This is a wonderful rustic family meal that's quick enough for midweek, or to elevate to restaurant level by using homemade chicken stock.
