Paul reached out after struggling to get much improvement with his frozen shoulder and subscap tear. That combo is tricky as the rotator cuff had been quite guarding so there was lots of pain when trying to improve range. That said 8 months in training a few times a month together we’ve made significant progress.
We emphasized isometric strength in his comfortable ranges first in a variety of ways ( drills were great for this), performed gentle manipulations first focused on relaxation with movement, then we progressively added more load and challenge.
Our focus wasn’t solely on the shoulder as facilitating spine and rib movement has helped support the shoulder greatly.
Paul teaches so he’s gets alot of light club swinging in as well which has helped.
Still lots of room for improvement but Paul’s re-introducing sport and his shoulder isn’t constantly ringing the alarm in his body. Slow and steady was the name of the game here.
