About the program

The Neck and Shoulder Blade Recovery Program is an 8-week program designed to help you overcome persistent neck, upper back, shoulder blade and shoulder pain by improving the mobility as well as the strength and stress tolerance of these areas. Additionally, you'll learn what other factors may be contributing to the persistent tightness/pain/discomfort, what strategies you can utilize on a daily basis to keep your symptoms at bay, and what is actually causing your symptoms! This program requires minimal equipment and progresses throughout the 8-week period. As it was designed, each workout is to be performed daily for 2 weeks before moving on to the next 2-week block, BUT some people will find that staying on a certain workout for several weeks may be more appropriate for them if they find benefit from it or need more time until they move on to the next workout. If certain exercises seem to be too challenging, you can message me directly within the app for a modification!

    Testimonials

    This program has been great. I've saved a lot of posts on Instagram but I always felt overwhelmed and not sure where to start or which exercises from which posts would actually be helpful. This program provided the guidance and structure I needed to finally overcome the constant tightness I had in my neck!

    This program helped me realize that I need to MOVE MORE and not just try to "massage" away the pain. Once I committed to the exercises and changed my habits that caused my neck and upper back pain to keep coming back, it's gone! And I know it will be gone for good with the tools I now have!
    Barbara
    I have the typical - rounded shoulders, kyphosis, forward head posture" and have had chronic, nagging neck, upper back, and shoulder pain for years as a result. This is the only program that has FINALLY helped me overcome it!
    Lindsey
    After a week, my neck is much better. My shoulder blade knots are much less painful. My shoulder seems to be improving too! Motivated to keep going!
    Jeff
    This was great. I can tell when somebody has actually helped people with this issue versus someone who just puts random exercises together. This worked!

    About Dr. Caleb Burgess

    Physical Therapist and Trainer

    Hi, I’m Dr. Caleb Burgess. I’m a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy, a certified specialist in Orthopedic Physical Therapy through the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties, and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. I've been practicing as a physical therapist for over 8 years and as a trainer/strength coach for over 12. After receiving my Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT), I spent the next two years completing a year-long Residency in Orthopedic Physical Therapy and then a year-long Fellowship in Sports and Orthopedic Physical Therapy. This advanced training allowed me to become an expert in musculoskeletal conditions both related to the general and athletic populations. Furthermore, as a strength and conditioning specialist, I am qualified to help people to develop and achieve higher level performance based goals that extend beyond traditional rehabilitation. I specialize in helping athletes and active people of all ages reach peak performance in their sport or activity of choice while helping to bulletproof their bodies to stay injury free in the process. And I should know! I’ve played sports all of my life, and was blessed to play basketball at the collegiate level (Azusa Pacific University) for 4 years from 2007-2011. During my time as an athlete, I went through my fair share of injuries and know what it’s like to be competing at the highest level only to have to claw my way back up from the bottom after getting injured. I draw on this experience to better understand what others are going through when working with them.

    How will I get the best results?
