Pain Posture Performance

When perfecting Flow Stretch, it is often the smallest details that create the biggest changes. The true value of attending a live class is that you get to feel the work, perform the work, and receive hands-on adjustments from instructors, assistants, and fellow participants.

A technique may look simple on video, but subtle factors such as body position, practitioner mechanics, pressure, timing, sequencing, and intent can dramatically change the outcome. Live training allows you to experience these nuances firsthand and develop the sensitivity that cannot always be conveyed through online learning alone.

Through repetition, feedback, and guided corrections, your understanding evolves from simply knowing the techniques to truly embodying them. This is where good practitioners become great practitioners—by refining the details that make the work feel effortless, effective, and deeply therapeutic.

“I’m so glad I attended the Deep Therapeutics class. The material was broken down and taught with excellent precision and clear instruction. I highly recommend this course to any massage therapist looking to improve their skills. It helped me clean up several issues in my bodywork practice and gave me a much better understanding of assessment and treatment. The class was so valuable that I plan to attend again.”

The Subclavius is a small but often overlooked muscle located underneath the collarbone, running from the first rib to the underside of the clavicle. Its primary role is to stabilize and depress the clavicle while assisting with shoulder girdle mechanics and protecting neurovascular structures passing beneath the collarbone.

Trigger points within the subclavius can refer pain into the anterior shoulder, clavicle, upper chest, arm, and occasionally into the thumb or radial side of the hand due to its close relationship with the brachial plexus and thoracic outlet region.

This muscle is commonly aggravated by:
• rounded shoulder posture
• prolonged desk work
• heavy pressing movements
• repetitive overhead activity
• carrying heavy bags
• trauma or compression around the clavicle and first rib

Clinically, an overactive or shortened subclavius may contribute to thoracic outlet symptoms, anterior shoulder tightness, altered scapular mechanics, and protective guarding around the upper thorax.

Active and passive stretching are both incredibly important when it comes to restoring movement, reducing pain, and increasing confidence in our clients.

But knowing WHEN to use one over the other… that’s where the real skill begins.

At PPP, we don’t just teach stretches.
We teach:
• assessment
• intent
• positioning
• load management
• and how to integrate stretching into real-world movement and performance.

We dive deep into all of these concepts in our online CE course:
Stretching & Flexibility.

Perfect for:
• massage therapists
• trainers
• movement professionals
• rehab specialists
• bodyworkers
