==============================

Your shoulder is your most mobile joint in the body and, because of this, it also has the most muscles that act on it. While many of these muscles move the shoulder joint directly, there are a number that are responsible for moving your shoulder blade and putting your scapula in the right place to perform pain-free shoulder movement.

We refer to this as the “timing and sequencing” of shoulder movement - the shoulder blade and shoulder joint need to move in harmony with each other for proper, painless motion to occur.

If your shoulder is hurting, especially with overhead movements, it may be because your scapular stabilizer muscles aren’t performing their proper function or the timing of the motion may be a little off.

Any rehabilitative exercises you do for your shoulder should include performing motions that strengthen and stabilize the muscles that act on your shoulder blade.

Those are the exercises you’re going to get in this video! The goal of all three exercises in this video is to train and strengthen the timing and sequencing of setting your shoulder blade into an optimal position and then training your rotator cuff to move the shoulder joint. This is how the shoulder optimally moves through pain-free motion and any deviation from this sequence can result in pain.

These are three shoulder exercises I give to my physical therapy patients everyday to do at home and they’re incredibly effective! The best part is you can do them anywhere with very light dumbbells or any other form of resistance (1-2 pounds recommended to start).

The best dumbbell exercises for your painful shoulder are “I’s, T’s, and Y’s” and you can find them at the following time stamps in this video:
