Eric Wong's Three Keys and Four Exercises to Rehab Shoulder Impingement, Rotator Cuff Tear and Shoulder Pain

Image
Kinesiologist Eric Wong describes three  key factors and four exercises to rehab a rotator cuff tear to avoid surgery if possible (@PrecisionMovementCoach). Eric Wong's shoulder rehab routine emphasizes three key factors: proper alignment, muscle activation, and restoring active range of motion. Watch the whole video to understand four important exercises designed to help achieve the three key factors. This article emphasizes the  highlighted details of the second exercise demonstrated in the video by Eric Wong "Coach E" when he trains muscles involved in upper arm raising and scapula rotation mechanics to avoid impingement in the subacromial space of the shoulder. Impingement can harm the supraspinatus tendon and the long head biceps tendon at the shoulder, causing pain. The second exercise "Wall Neck Side Bend" relaxes the upper trapeizius and levator scapulae muscles, which have been shown in a study as overactive in people with painful shoulders. The Study...

Strengthening the Upper Trapezius Muscles and Checking Out the Rhomboid Muscles Regarding Scapular Control for a Pain Free Shoulder Joint

Image
Dr. David Middaugh of El Paso Manual Physical Therapy Clinic explains 16 points involving shoulder and scapular rotation mechanics that help an individual understand how to prevent damage and pain in the shoulder joint (SOURCE: YouTube@@epmanualphysicaltherapy). Dr. David Middaugh, PT, DPT provides sixteen points to consider to help the healthy mechanics of the shoulder joint and scapular rotation. The two points of many important points that stand out are ... 1) the importance of upper trapezius muscle strength for the power to upwardly rotate the scapula (shoulder blade) to lift the shoulder joint to contribute to the full 180-degree motion of lifting the arm, and  2) the importance of the consideration of rhomboid muscles, which can possibly over-dominate the balance equation of scapular mechanics and inhibit the lift of the shoulder joint. Dr. David Middaugh explains that the involvement of 180 degrees of typical range of motion of the arm from side to overhead is provided by...

Rotator Cuff Muscles, Scapular Support Muscles, Shoulder Decompression, Possible Shoulder Pain Fix Defined

Image
Dr. Corey Hoffner explains exercises that may help control shoulder pain caused by external rotation and other shoulder motions, too (YouTube@drchoffnerptsc). Pain with external rotation of the shoulder likely means that the shoulder joint is compressed, and that the rotator cuff is not adequately controlling the multi-dimensional movement of the shoulder (external rotation, internal rotation, flexion, and extension of the shoulder). Decompressing a shoulder joint is defined as re-establishing a position of the upper arm connection to the shoulder blade in the safe and instant center position, which provides a shoulder joint condition that hopefully becomes pain free. The rotator cuff consists of four small muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis) that are involved (along with larger muscles: biceps, triceps, and deltoids) with the connection of the arm (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula). The main function of the rotator cuff muscles is to keep the up...

Image
Dr. Corey Hoffner:  Your Shoulder Impingement Isn't a Shoulder Problem  (YouTube@drchoffnerptsc). YouTube Tips ⓘ According to Dr. Corey Hoffner, shoulder impingement is caused by dysfunction of the mid-thoracic region (lack of thoracic extension ability) and dysfunction of the scapula region (lack of range of motion and muscular control of scapular rotation which is necessary to fully establish arm raising). Three Recommended Exercises ... Wall-supported thoracic spine extension with hips flexed. Scapular full range upward re-training with forearm roll of ball on a wall and half-kneeling position. Use band resistance to strengthen scapular retraction muscles that keep the subacromial space open. Dr. Corey Hoffner: "Stop Resting Your Biceps Tendonitis — It's Making It Worse" (YouTube@drchoffnerptsc). YouTube Tips ⓘ Three Recommended  Exercises ...
