===============================================
Your shoulder is the most mobile joint in your body. It moves in three planes of movement and our activities require it to be highly flexible.
However, the arm also has to be very strong. Think of the amount of pushing, pulling, and lifting you do on a daily basis. There has to be much stability for the shoulder to function correctly.
WHY DOES MY SHOULDER HURT?
Oftentimes when I encounter a patient with shoulder pain in my physical therapy clinic I find it’s because they’re lacking in one of these two areas - either their shoulder doesn’t move as much as it should or it’s not as strong/stable as it should be. Most often their shoulder stabilizers are too weak to support their arm through various motions and under the loads required of it.
Here are some simple tests you can perform to determine where your shoulder pain is coming from: • WHY DOES MY SHOULDER HURT? | 12 Home ...
WHAT IS THE ROTATOR CUFF, ANYWAY?
Your rotator cuff is a series of four muscles and their tendons that wrap around the head of your humerus (upper arm bone). The primary job of these muscles is to seat the “ball” of your humerus squarely in the “socket” of your shoulder blade - when it does that you feel fine. However weakness in your rotator cuff can hinder the mechanics of the shoulder joint and eventually start to cause pain in that area.
Rotator cuff weakness can lead to pain, inflammation (tendinitis), and eventually even tendon fraying and scar tissue accumulation (tendinosis). When your rotator cuff is causing you pain it is typically located on the front and towards the top of your shoulder.
ROTATOR CUFF TENDONITIS TREATMENT
Luckily there’s a lot that the right stretches and exercises can do to help you out of some of the pain that you’re experiencing in your shoulder. In fact one of the best things you can do is strengthen your rotator cuff muscles so that they are better suited to stabilize and support your shoulder joint.
BEST ROTATOR CUFF STABILITY EXERCISE
This video presents my favorite series of exercises to improve strength and activation of the rotator cuff muscles and increase the stability of your shoulder joint. The mechanics behind the efficacy of these exercises is twofold:
1. We move the shoulder through nearly all its available motions against some form of resistance.
2. The exercises are performed down on all fours. This axial load response through the arm and into the shoulder is a great way to recruit and activate the rotator cuff stabilizers.
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR EXERCISES
Performed down on all fours - thereby eliciting better muscle recruitment.
Perform 10 reps forward and backward.
Perform 10 reps in and out (side to side).
Perform 10 reps in a counterclockwise circle.
Perform 10 reps in a clockwise circle.
Repeat with the opposite limb.
Perform 3 sets of these 40 reps on each side.
