IN THIS 10th VIDEO OF THE SERIES (PHASE X) you will continue with passive range of motion exercises to minimize the fibrosis of repair and shoulder impingement syndrome/frozen shoulder. After a humerus fracture, there can be some atrophy of the rotator cuff and surrounding muscles. This video assumes your ability to bring your arm over your head and perform some face down strengthening exercises. You may have some trepidation with the plank exercises but, hopefully, the previous videos doing plank against the wall have prepared you for this. Most of the exercises up to this point have been unilateral. You will now be moving into bilateral moves that help rebalance the imbalances that have been taking place since your shoulder injury.
You just broke your arm but I am here for 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.

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. IF THERE IS CLUNKING OR SEVERE PAIN WITH ANY OF THE EXERCISES IN THESE VIDEOS, STOP IMMEDIATELY, CONSULT YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER AND THINK ABOUT DOING EARLIER VIDEOS RATHER THAN THE ONE THAT GIVES YOU PAIN. 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.

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!
