. . . practically every individual has some advantage over all others because he possesses unique information of which beneficial use might be made, but of which use can be made only if the decisions depending on it are left to him or are made with his active cooperation.” -- Friedrich Hayek: The Use of Knowledge in Society.

That “unique information of which beneficial use might be made” includes naturally subjective preferences of which no bureaucracy can be aware, but about which no consumer can be wrong.

"But, but. . . It's TRT!" LOL

The Major Biological Pain Mechanisms behind Rotator cuff‐related Shoulder Pain

👉 Rotator cuff‐related shoulder pain (RCRSP) was proposed to have a complex pain mechanism, but the exact aetiology is still unclear. A recent review summarised the updated research to analyse the traditional concept of shoulder impingement which may not be accurate. Current studies have demonstrated that mechanical factors including a reduction in subacromial space, scapular dyskinesia and different acromial shapes are unlikely directly contributing to RCRSP.

❓ So what is the primary biological pain mechanisms (nociceptive, nociplastic, neuropathic) behind rotator cuff‐related shoulder pain?

Lo et al. conducted a narrative review on current evidence to answer this important question.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/msc.1719

👉 The results

🟥 Among the nociceptive mechanism, current research does not support mechanical irritation as the primary source of RCRSP since the traditional mechanical factors such as decrease in the subacromial distance, scapular dyskinesia and acromial shapes were found to have no correlation with RCRSP.

🟩 In contrast, biochemical changes such as inflammatory molecules in the subacromial bursa, levels of IL‐1 β and IL‐6 in the synovial fluid of the glenohumeral joint and serum levels of VEGF have demonstrated moderate to strong correlations (r = 0.66–0.75). S. picture

🤷 Research on neuropathic and nociplastic mechanisms related to RCRSP is limited and the results are unclear.

👉 Conclusion

📣 Based on the available research literature, the main component of RCRSP may be a biochemical disorder which triggers inflammatory changes at the tissue level and pain, rather than a mechanical overuse injury. The mechanical factors, neuropathic changes and central sensitisation can occur simultaneously as contributing factors to a certain extent. Any of these three aspects may have a greater effect in individual cases of RCRSP.

is on record as saying "glutes are king and core is queen" to healthily perform a golf swing repeatedly. In this statement healthily is defined as without injury - chronic or acute. Therefore when programming strength for golf particular attention needs to be paid to building your foundation. Not all hip extension exercises are created equal. Take the time to learn how to properly and adequately activate the gluteal muscle complex: maximus, medius, and minimus.

No matter where you are in the installing posterior chain strength or perfecting your golf swing phases increasing glute strength using isolated exercises will transfer and become accessible when initating, rotating, and stabilizing the core of your body (hips, pelvis, spine).

Considering approximately 80% of golfing injuries would be considered overuse; that is conclusive that golfers should consider as part of their training program Furthermore, increased strength increased has been shown to improve measureable performance parameters among novice, recreational, collegiate, and professional golfers. The most researched measurables include: driving distance and clubhead velocity, but that doesn't tell the whole story. Stay tuned - currently working with college aged golfers to simplify strength training in the weight room, decrease recover time, and improve or maintain mobility for the purposes of transfer to tournament play.

Whether your goal is to enhance and improve vascular (cardio- or peripheral) fitness, bone density, flexibility, metabolic conditioning, muscular strength & endurance, or increase resistance to injury, you must go through the muscular system. Find the best way to work the muscles, and you've found the best way to improve the other biologic systems.
