The pec major muscle is the large muscle that makes up the musculature of chest. It has multiple sites of attachment; the collar bone, the sternum and the cartilage of the ribs.

As a chiropractor specializing in neurological conditions, I’ve helped countless patients find lasting relief through targeted spinal care and comprehensive treatment approaches.

To keep our joints healthy we need to move them, on a daily basis, throughout their full range of motion. This helps stress the ligaments and muscles supporting the joints, as well as, distribute the synovial fluid throughout the joint. The synovial fluid helps to reduce friction and provide the cartilage with the nutrients it needs to stay healthy. Elbow circles (CARS) This is another one of my exercises that… Read More »Circles (CARs) for healthy elbows
Dr Notley, Winnipeg Chiropractor and athletic therapist, demonstrates open chain knee circles to emphasis the rotational mobility of the knee. The knee has the ability to rotate. A lack of range of motion in rotation can alter the movements around the ankle and hip. This may be a cause of pain in the knee, ankles, hips and even the lower back.

The front of the arm has two muscles, the biceps brachii and the brachialis. Both muscles cross the elbow and are involved in flexing the elbow bringing the hand to the shoulder.

Should I stop exercising if it hurts?” Not always.
Pain doesn’t always mean damage. It is often your nervous system saying “pay attention,” not “stop.”
Here’s a simple guide I use with patients, based on the Traffic Light System:
🟢 GREEN LIGHT
✔ Pain ≤ 3/10
✔ Goes away in a few hours
✔ No loss in strength or movement
👉 You’re good to keep going — even progress a little.
🟡 YELLOW LIGHT
⚠ Pain 4–6/10
⚠ Lingers up to 72 hours
⚠ No major function loss
👉 Hold steady. Focus on recovery, not pushing harder.
🔴 RED LIGHT
🛑 Pain ≥ 7/10
🛑 Sharp, lasting >48 hours
🛑 Interferes with movement
👉 Modify or pause. This is a sign to reassess.
💡 Pain is feedback — not failure.
Train with it, not against it.
