Do you have shoulder pain or limitations with overhead arm movements including…
Reaching🙌🏾
Pressing 👊🏻💪🏼
Throwing🤽♂️
Lifting objects🏋🏻
Playing sports⚾️
‼️You likely would benefit from a shoulder stabilization program‼️ We post a lot of shoulder and scapular stability exercises that would help, however we have received a lot of questions about where and how to start. Here is a mini compilation of some of our episodes that includes how to progress an overhead stability program. In our minds, if your arms go overhead daily ➡️ you’re an overhead athlete.
1️⃣ Isolated Movement & Activation ➡️ we want to get motion at the right joints using the right muscles
2️⃣ Integrate Core & Kinetic Chain ➡️ Stable shoulders require a stable foundation. The trunk and the lower body need to provide the stable foundation
3️⃣ Increase Overhead Movements & Degrees Of Freedom ➡️ movement specificity is key, we need to challenge the overhead position in multiple ways
‼️This is a snapshot of a shoulder stabilization program‼️It is recommended a skilled movement practitioner, such as a physical therapist, evaluates you and guides you through the progressions when it is appropriate to do so. If you’re in the greater Los Angeles area, contact us ‼️
