When you feel sharp or radiating pain near your shoulder blade, it can stop you in your tracks. That deep ache or tingling sensation might mean you’re dealing with a pinched nerve in the shoulder blade, often caused by muscle tension, poor posture, or repetitive movement. At R3 Physio, we see this type of pain often in people who sit long hours, lift weights, or stay active in sports. The muscles and joints around your neck, shoulders, and upper back work together closely, so even a small restriction can trigger nerve irritation. Common signs include: • Tightness or burning between your shoulder blades • Numbness or tingling running down your arm • Weakness when lifting or rotating your shoulder • Pain that worsens when you move your neck or upper back Ignoring the pain won’t make it disappear. The good news is that targeted treatment can calm the irritation, release pressure on the nerve, and help you move comfortably again.

You woke up with knee pain, no injury in sight, and now you’re wondering what’s going on. That sudden stiffness or ache can feel confusing when you didn’t twist, fall, or strain anything. At R3 Physio in Keller, we see this more often than you’d think. Knee pain without an obvious cause can reveal that your body is trying to communicate something deeper. Maybe your hips, lower back, or even your feet are out of alignment. Sometimes it’s tightness in surrounding muscles or a problem with how your joints move. Before you assume it’s “just age” or “sleeping wrong,” it helps to look at possible triggers like: • Weakness or imbalance in your hips or core • Hidden inflammation or swelling from overuse • Tight fascia or restricted soft tissue • Referred pain from the spine or pelvis Ignoring unexplained knee pain can make small issues turn into chronic ones. When your body sends a warning, it’s an invitation to pay attention before the problem grows.

Have you ever tried a stretch that feels so good it almost seems wrong? That’s exactly the kind of relief you find with the right lower back stretches—moves that unlock tension and restore movement in ways you didn’t realize your body needed. The truth is, your back carries the weight of your daily routine, from long hours at a desk to intense workouts. When pain builds, simple stretches can feel like hidden secrets that reset your body in minutes. With the right approach, these stretches do more than ease soreness. They help you move freely, improve posture, and even boost energy for the rest of your day. Think of it like giving your spine a reset button. Instead of fighting stiffness, you’re teaching your back to open up, release, and function the way it’s designed to. You’ll discover that the right moves can: Relieve nagging tightness within minutes Increase mobility so daily tasks feel easier Support long-term spine health without complicated routines

Back of knee pain often feels mysterious, especially when it shows up during everyday movement or exercise. You might think the pain starts in your knee, but the real cause often hides higher up. Your hips and back play a bigger role than you realize. When they lose strength or mobility, your knees take on stress they were never designed to handle. That’s why pain at the back of your knee can be a warning sign of a larger movement problem. Instead of treating the pain in isolation, you need to look at how your body moves as a whole. By understanding the link between your hips, back, and knees, you can: Prevent small aches from turning into chronic injuries Restore normal movement without constant flare-ups Return to daily life and activity with confidence Have you noticed your knee pain returning even after rest or basic treatment? That’s your body signaling that the problem runs deeper.
