Check these 2 Movements for a Healthy Shoulder

3/6/2020

8 Comments

 
​Sufficient shoulder mobility is important to minimize injury to the shoulder (obviously), but also the neck, spine, and entire arm.  We are constantly checking the 2 below motions on patients who come to with any issue from the waist up; anything ranging from headaches to carpal tunnel.  
Shoulder Danville
Hand Over Head: should be able to touch the top of your opposite shoulder blade.
Picture
Hand Behind Back: should be able to touch the bottom of your opposite shoulder blade.
If you notice one side is limited and/or painful compared to the other side, give us a call and see how we may be able to help.


Check out this great 5 minute video on various shoulder mobility exercises.  It was created by Dan Pope, a physical therapist who has many great posts (@ www.fitnesspainfree.com).  I figure a guy that looks like Aaron Rodgers and has a better body than me is better suited to make a YouTube video for this sort of thing.  Check it out!
