Shoulder Pain
Exercise #2
The goal of these exercises is to strengthen those smaller stabilizing muscles that surround the shoulder. These smaller muscles need to be balanced in both strength and flexibility. Disfunction of the shoulder is caused when there is an imbalance of strength and flexibility. Disfunction will quickly turn into pain.
This series of exercises to treat your shoulder pain are called the buchberger-12. The buchberger-12 is a series of 12 shoulder exercises that are used to strengthen the rotator cuff and the muscles that stabilize the shoulder blade. These 12 exercises serve as a way to prepare and protect the shoulder from the stresses brought on by overhand throwing sports/activites. The Buchberger-12 is geared toward overhand throwing athletes, however, these exercises can be used as a method of general shoulder rehabilitation, and act as a safe alternative to shoulder exercises that cause pain.
Exercise 2- Reverse Snow Angels
Begin laying face down on a mat with your hands on the small of your back, palms facing up. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and gently lift hands up off your back. Slowly bring your arms out and away from the sides of your body. Continue to lift the arms up until they reach 90˚. Rotate through your shoulders and turn your thumbs up to point towards the ceiling. Continue to raise the arms until they reach 100° (making a Y with your arms). Reverse this motion. DO NOT let your hands touch floor at any point during the exercise!
STAY TUNED FOR EXERCISE #3!
