WELCOME TO WEEKS 5-7 AFTER YOUR HUMERUS FRACTURE. THIS IS A TRANSITIONAL TIME IN YOUR REHAB. At this point you have x-ray confirmation that your bones have healed in alignment and can now begin to reclaim lost range of motion and regain strength rather than just the tone of muscles. I hope you are able to do 2 videos/day. However, many of these exercises you can do throughout your day as you walk through life. Make stretching, arm circles and scapular stabilization a part of who you are. It takes 18 months for the scar tissue to fully form and remodel. Therefore, you have a long journey of movement and strength ahead of you.

A non displaced proximal humerus fracture is a break in the bone near your shoulder joint or fracture of the upper arm where the pieces of bone at the fracture site are separated, but not out of position.
A displaced fracture is when the pieces of bone at the fracture site are separated and shifted out of position. This type of fracture typically requires surgery. A break more towards the elbow would be a humerus shaft fracture.

Most likely, you had a fall on your hand and the force went up to the head of your humerus and it broke. If there is no separation of the bones, and only a break, then surgery is usually not indicated and this is where this shoulder rehabilitation series will be great for you. Welcome to your virtual physical therapy for your shoulder complex.

These shoulder rehab videos are not an excuse to avoid your physical therapist, medical doctor or chiropractor. Please check in with your healthcare providers, gain their knowledge and make sure you are reaching your healing goals and that you are ready for each step. In fact, send them a link to the playlist    • Non-displaced Humeral Head Fracture R...   and let's team up on this.
NOTE: DO ALL AT YOUR OWN RISK.

To help with healing, get on a vitamin D3 and K2 supplement. Vitamin K2 contributes to mitochondrial health, bone density health, vision support, cardiac function support, and more!
The MEGAQuinD3 by Microbiome Labs is my preferred.

And here is an interview with my most respected microbiologist about how D3 and K2 can help you:    • Vitamin D3/K2 — The Calcium Connectio...  

If the statistics are correct, you may very well have osteoporosis and, along with the supplements, I like a more alkaline diet, some sunlight and, eventually, some weight bearing exercise. With the over age 60 population, the most common fractures are of the hips, then the wrist and the third most common fracture is the proximal humerus. Welcome to the club : ).... and now welcome to your come-back!
