A Personal Message From a Shoulder & Neck Specialist

Yvonne A. Castillo
Movement Specialist

After Many Months or Even Years Are You Still Wondering Why You Are Suffering From Shoulder & Neck Pain, Stiffness or Instability?

  • Are you worried that your Shoulder and Neck pain and stiffness  isn't going away on it's own, despite all the "rest", "stretching" or "exercises" you've tried to do?

  • Does your Shoulder & Neck pain keep you from getting a restful night's sleep? Is getting out of bed in the morning become unbearable because of the pain or fear of turning your head or lifting your arm wrong?

  • Do you have trouble sitting longer than 10-15 minutes before the pain starts to build? Is it affecting your ability to concentrate, think, drive, work at your desk, travel or enjoy a meal with friends or family?

  • Are you starting to get worried about the clicking, catching and cracking when you lift or reach you arm or turn you head? 

  • Do you absolutely dread driving and sitting in the car fearful of the pain? Are you worried you may get in an accident because you can't turn your head or move you arms quickly? Are you putting yourself or others at risk?

  • Are you unable to be as active as you want because of the pain shooting down your arms or the back or your head? Are you experiencing headaches more frequently or intensely? Have you stopped your favorite activities because of the pain and fear it will continue to spread and get worse?

  • Are you worried that you have to keep cutting things out of your life and can't commit to doing activities with friends or family? Or that you can't keep up & will need more and more help to do the things you can't?

  • Do you hate taking more and more painkillers or have to keep going back for (really expensive) injections that you know are bad for your body & don't really fix the problem? Are you worried that taking these painkillers will actually damage your kidneys, liver & breakdown the quality of your bones?​ 

  • Are you finding yourself continually drained of energy and the spark you once had? Maybe starting to be easily irritable and not your normal self?

  • Do you feel like you are slowing down,  getting left behind or missing out because of the shoulder and neck  pain, have worry or fear about the intense unpredictable pain? Are you feeling less and less sociable? What quality time and memories are you missing because of the agony and fear?

  • Are you someone who values their health and is looking for a long-term natural solution that will actually fix the problems causing the shoulder and neck pain, so you can live the active life you want?

​If this sounds like what you are experiencing, just know we hear this ALL the time at our practice! You are not alone and if you are looking for a long-term solution to your Shoulder and Neck Pain, Stiffness or Instability- then we can help!

We have found out more and more people are unjustly suffering from Shoulder & Neck pain and stiffness because they were told:
  • To just" accept it" because it is apart of your "age" or gender

  • Or maybe that you are "too young for a Shoulder replacement or surgery...yet" and you just have to "wait" for it to get bad enough to do something & to just stop doing "certain things"

  • To just take pills and "rest for 6-8 weeks" to "see how it goes"

  • To just get an (very expensive) injection every couple of months & to give up being as active as you want

  • That their MRI or x-rays show it's an "alignment issue" or "arthritis" and that there is "nothing to be done"
However, Shoulder and neck pain and stiffness is more complicated than that...the process of really finding all the contributing causes & actually fixing all the problems that have developed takes respect and an expert in the body and movement to really identify the solutions and plan that needs to be implemented for the real outcome you want.

We understand that it can be overwhelming to know and make the BEST decision for your health. Your time, money, health and future is at stake. There also are so many different options and advice out there like:
  • Trying stretches & exercises from "experts" on YouTube
  • Relying on your fitness instructor or friend to show you "some band exercises" that they were given once or heard could work
  • Using new topical creams or essential oils someone recommended
  • Trying a posture or neck brace, tape or strap for support or "relief"
  • Taking painkillers or anti-inflammatories your doctor prescribed
  • Going to see a certain massage therapist, chiropractor or acupuncturist
With all those choices it can be stressful to make the best decision for your health. Maybe you've tried some of the options above and were let down by false promises and only temporary relief and without anything really being "fixed."

All to often I listen to clients tell me how they were let down with other healthcare professionals that  just treated the "symptom", didn't consider all the problems, limitations they had or help them get back to doing the things that really matter to them, just used all these gadgets or machines that never seemed to work or told how they would help get to the "root cause" of the problem.

When it comes to something as serious Shoulder and neck pain and stiffness choosing the right person to help you and not waiting for the problem to get worse is critical so you can AVOID being forced into an invasive risky surgery that could have been avoided.

Most people that getting pain relief isn't the best thing we can do for them-it's a VERY HAPPY part of our results. The best thing we do for people is fix the problems that are creating the pain or limitations, provide a natural long-term solution so we can prevent it from coming back and creating other issues in the future!

Take The Right Action!

Let's Start To Get To Know About You & How We Can Help

Many people are frustrated with the healthcare system, with false expectations and disappointing results. 

It's impossible to get even 7 or 8 minutes with a doctor and to actually be listened too, get all the questions and concerns you have answered or even have the time to process and understand what is going on. It can be very frustrating to not be heard, get the care and attention you have waited for and deserve.

That is why we offer a complimentary phone consultation with one of our top  Movement Specialists. We set aside time every day to allow a 30 minute (or however long it takes) phone to get to know you, your values, specific problem and health goals.

At Perseverance Movement Specialists & Pilates, we believe having an open and honest conversation is essential to understand exactly what is happening so we can create the best plan that is focused specifically for you, your values and goals. 

We want you to be 100% confident and certain in your decision to work with us before we consider moving to the next option to help you.

Let's Actually Find & Fix The Real Cause of Your Situation

Fortunately and unfortunately everything in the body is connected. Simply just relying on images and scans or just looking at a single body part is not (good) enough. Often times scans, of the shoulder or neck, are only one piece of the puzzle and does not show everything that is really contributing to your pain and problems.

Nothing exists in isolation especially if the problem has gone on for any period of time. Other areas of weakness, imbalance or restriction cause your body to compensate and make the current problem and pain much worse and keep occurring.

With shoulder and neck issues nearly always the root cause originates from one or more of the following factors:
  • Muscle imbalances of your neck, shoulder, upper and even lower back (because the muscles of your spine attach from the back of you skull all the way to the hip-think a tug-o-war going on here) due to prolonged patterns of sitting, posture and repetitive activities & habits

  • Soft tissue limitations, "Scar Tissue" buildup and stiffness of the neck, shoulder, mid spine hip,  from continual inflammation, old injuries, car accidents, falls,  or muscle strains and sprains or surgeries that never really "healed right".....remember everything in the body is connected

  • Current or Past Pregnancy related complications, changes in activity, strength, alignment, structure of the neck, spine and shoulders, mobility and stability of the muscles and joints

  • Weak core, rotator cuff, postural stabilizing muscles that cannot support and stabilize your neck and shoulder(which is a "floating" joint and prone to injury), to allow you maintain good posture and move freely without compressing & overstressing your nerves, joints and muscles

  • Weak core and back muscles that cannot support your body and create an unstable foundation and poor movement patterns
Each person is unique in their individual body type, history and contributing factors to their shoulder and neck situation. Which is why it is so critical to be assessed and understood  as a whole with a customized plan clearly outlined for you.

If you are still feeling unsure and nervous about working with us because you are uncertain if it's right for you- that is okay! That is exactly why we created our complimentary Taster Session.

It allows you to come in, get all your questions and concerns answered and see if we are a right fit. Your mind will be put to ease and give you the confidence and clarity about your problem and what it will require to fix it. Without ANY financial obligation to you. We welcome that you bring anyone along that is involved in supporting your health, wellness and fitness.

Can You Imagine....

Could you imagine if you could actually sleep through the night and wake up refreshed and with energy instead of moving like your 30 years older than you are? Or not have to worry about constantly watching the clock to monitor how long you are in one position or if you are on your feet too much? Or when the next "bad move" will leave you in a wave of pain, cause your neck to seize up on you?

What if you could finally completely get rid of your shoulder and neck  pain, stiffness or instability? What would your life look like in 3 months? 6 months? 1 year? What plans would you make? What goals could you achieve?

Life is too precious and valuable to live in fear, worry and in shoulder and neck pain. Or to risk getting a frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tear or herniating a disc of your neck... We are here to support you in your next step. We hope to hear from you soon!

​(and how happy they are now...)

Chris Gocong, 34, NFL Veteran 2006-2013
​Santa Barbara, CA

As a retired NFL player, I know how a knowledgeable trainer can be a great asset to a team.
​
My experience with Yvonne Castillo has shown that she has more than enough knowledge and skill to be among the elite in her field.

In 2012 I suffered a complete (R) Achilles tendon rupture along with a compound malleolus fracture while playing as the linebacker Cleveland  Browns. For  physical therapy at home, in Santa Barbara, I was referred to Yvonne by the Cleveland Browns Head Athletic Trainer, Chris Peduzzi.

Throughout my recovery Yvonne and the Browns were in contact regarding my status and program via thorough reports by Yvonne.

As a knowledgeable patient, I was very impressed by her knowledge of anatomy and manual manipulations to address or prevent an injury. At times even the most focused patient can tire of Pilates torture devices and balance balls; Yvonne would refocus me, see the workout finished with good  form, and make it a fun atmosphere to work in.

Within months I was back to sprinting, cutting, and jumping. Yvonne would record each drill so I could watch myself and acknowledge improvement (which was very helpful for mental recovery from my catastrophic injury).

When I left my PT program with Yvonne I knew my injury was an afterthought and I could again perform at an elite level.

Chris I., 50, Avid Surfer, Hiker, MT Biker.... & Devoted Father, Santa Barbara, CA

My name is Chris, born and raised in Santa Barbara and have three kids ages 12, 15, and 17. I work for the County of Santa Barbara as a Real Estate Property Appraiser. I enjoy being active and love to do many things outside such as surf, kayak, fish, snorkel, MT bike, hike, tennis, and many other activities.

I started to feel pain in my shoulder in the summer of 2015, which eventually lead to my surgery on my left shoulder or rotator cuff on February 11, 2016. I was out of commission for about 8 weeks. Dr. Richard Ryu was my surgeon which I was happy to have, and he had me go to physical therapy for the rest of my rehab with a referral to go see physical therapist Dr. Yvonne Castillo.

I started to schedule a month of Physical Therapy, and I found out the place Yvonne works had another office closer to where I live, so I only made the first 2 appointments with Yvonne and then made the rest with different PT's at the location closer to me. After my first time seeing Yvonne which was around the end of April of 2016, I was so impressed by her that I switched all remaining appointments back to  Yvonne even though it was a longer drive! This was my first time to have a surgery (except my wisdom teeth when I was 16) and to recover from it, and all of this working with physical therapists  was new to me. I was eager to get started and get back to doing things. I really felt good having Yvonne, I could tell she really cares about you and it was obvious from day one.

For my first visit Yvonne knew all about my surgery by reviewing my surgery  video, notes from my surgeon  and pictures, and by speaking with her, I knew she had a plan and knew what  she was doing. The fact she was so prepared impressed me and I could tell how knowledgeable and passionate she was in the whole process of recovering. I soon realized she see's many people like me recovering from surgery, so when I asked a question I felt confident  in her answers.   ​
