Untold Physio Stories Podcast - Severe Scapula Pain in a CrossFit Athlete - themanualtherapist.com


Andrew Rothschild is back with an interesting case of severe pain and hyperalgesia around the scapula area in a CrossFit Athlete.

Treatment ended up being the same, but it makes for interesting discussion on how and why these things may happen. Ever seen a case of nerve entrapment like this?
