With
any shoulder condition, we need to get your shoulder and shoulder blade sitting
in a good position before starting strengthening exercises.
Start
by gently pulling your shoulder backwards as if you are squeezing a pencil
between your shoulders.
Once
you can hold this position, using a theraband we will continue to progress to
strengthening. Therabands are stocked at Health Dynamix, and are affordable
bands, used for stretching with. Stand with your elbow bent 90deg, theraband in
hand and slowly rotate the hand outwards whilst holding your shoulder position.
Repeat this with good quality movement.
Once
again do this pulling the theraband inwards towards the stomach, holding the
shoulders backwards. To do this you will need to rotate your position to the
theraband so that you are pulling against the resistance.
Once
again now with the arm straight, pull the arm backwards
Once
again arm straight and pull forwards.
Ongoing
shoulder management can further be progressed using our fully equipped pilates
gym.
