⭐️ I am showing REAL PATIENTS WITH REAL ISSUES, AND THE REAL SOLUTIONS-RESULTS! Remember that I am showing only ONE PART of their current program! Other part was consisting of co-contraction variations, plyo progression etc…
🙋🏻♂️ RATIONALE BEHIND THE CHOSEN EXERCISES?
Not all the painful shoulders have a diagnosis, or at least we don’t know the right cause (maybe there are few of them..). But, our goal is to try to find the weak links and work on it, till we see improvement. It requires time, education, belief, reassurance, small lifestyle adjustments, consistency… She recently had Golfer’s and Tennis elbow, which probably means intermuscular coordination is something worth working on! She felt pain after a Padel match, weeks ago… Padel requires quick intermuscular/interjoint coordination and quick cuff activation and control, in order to keep the ball relatively inside the socket. Her arms are weak in general, including shoulders. The majority of non-soecific shoulder issues (including pain) are rotator cuff related! PS: The video is 3-5 times sped up…
1. Serratus and posterior cuff activation, great for general shoulder health. Palms back to train humero-scapular variability (increasing options for load sharing at least).
2. Easier variation of reactive cuff activation, changing angles is important, first sagittal and then frontal - more specific plane. More overhead over time…
3. Posterior cuff concentric F. (high elbow pos.), and subscap. quasi ISO…
4. Infraspinatus F., as well as all the cuff muscles with rhythmic stability. Laying position helps because it activates delts less!
5. Posterior cuff concentric F., and all the cuff reactive act. with RS. Laying pos. always easier (G forces help). Changing planes of motion is always great!
🙋🏻♂️ WHEN TO AVOID SOME OF THESE?
If having 5+ out of 10 pain while performing the specific exercise.
⭐️ If you’re a rehab specialist, always look at the person in front of you first, do a good assessment, and choose if these exercises can be applied!
📢 My friend, if you liked the post, I want you to share it with friend(s) who have non-specific shoulder pain. Feel free to comment, suggest, or ask anything (I didn’t cover many things)!
Yours in progress⬆️on,
