It’s interesting to see how the body adapts to injury over time. One way the body protects itself is producing pain signals as it moves towards painful ranges of motion.
In this example, my client can’t fully get his arm to the ground/wall without pain.
Our goal here is to introduce movements that feel safe, in order to tell the brain it’s ok to move.
Using isometric contractions and stabilizing exercises is one way I like to try to inhibit the pain signals.
