Shoulders in TKs

  • Daruma Neukölln, Berlin (map)

People that are getting tied in TKs regularly often experience some kind of shoulder issues. In this workshop we will look at some of the potential causes and solutions for pain or discomfort to improve your TK experience and help understand your body better.

Asimira is a physiotherapist and pursued this career in part to have a better understanding of the body in ropes, the shoulders especially. Even though she does not feel like she has all the answers she has a solid foundation to look for some of the possible issues and solutions.

In this workshop we will cover:

  • Shoulder anatomy

  • Nerve safety

  • Different options for shoulder positioning

  • Exercises to improve your shoulder stability or mobility

  • Ways you can help your partner as a top

  • Anyone can attend this workshop. However, it makes the most sense if you have some experience being tied in or tying TKs.

    If you are someone that has been experiencing issues in TKs we would love to hear your individual experience before so we can cater to your individual issues in the best way possible. Please send any issues you have in TKs to our contact form

    The workshop can be attended individual or in a couple, if you come alone you will be paired in groups of 2 or 3 for some of the coupled exercises. If you have a regular tying partner that you are tying TKs with a lot it is recommended to come as a couple.
