I’ve been very quiet on here lately as I’ve taken some time out to rehab my shoulder injury and ( can you believe the timing!) focus on finishing my second book 📗on Pilates. It’s been interesting going from one handed laptop writing back to two 🥴Anyhoo, I thought it would be good to show what I’ve been doing to rehabilitate my shoulder and how, by paying attention to the details, being consistent and being kind to yourself you can return from injury. I see Pilates as the perfect bridge between medical care and fitness. In my case, I’ve moved from medical diagnosis from the NHS, through to following their initial physical therapy exercises and then within a few days, integrating Pilates therapeutic exercises and then modifying my Pilates routines to strengthen not only the shoulder but all the muscles groups connected to it. This includes mobility of the thoracic spine. I’ve certainly noticed how this area has become less mobile post menopause so it’s getting extra love in all my classes now ❤️ That said, there is just under 4 weeks from me in a sling to me back weight bearing on the shoulder. The power of Pilates! No small thanks to who’s excellent book Pilates for Rehabilitation is a regularly read in my Pilates home library! Can’t wait to see the next one! ❤️
