ReBuild Your Shoulder in 30 Days

Welcome to reset your shoulder in 30 days! Intro video: https://youtu.be/UOLhAvTuTks This class takes you through how I have been rehabbing shoulders in my clinic for over a decade. Most PT starts too far ahead, and is missing the nuances of shoulder rehab. The shoulder doesn’t function in isolation. And you can’t just jump ahead to banded exercises and always get great results. Years of poor posture, microtrauma, and old injuries can affect the joint at a deeper level than just the muscles. We’ll take you through how to center the joint for best muscle activation, and then start gently loading the joint the way you did when you were developing. Believe it or not, tummy time is an amazing shoulder exercise, and most adults are terrible at it! Another aspect of shoulder rehab that is often overlooked is the role that neurovascular plays. We’ll show you how to assess and floss all three nerves that innervate your arm. AND, we have a bonus section on the dorsal scapular nerve, a huge player in pain between the spine and shoulder blades. Posture is a major component of shoulder health, and we do a deep dive on how to perk up your posture, including some easy "movement snacks” that you can do throughout the day. We then start loading the joint a bit more, with medium and then advanced loading progressions. A lot of these include interacting with the floor or the wall, which helps build strength and stability in a closed chain pattern. As we advance we’ll do more open chain patterns like press ups and carries. Education and understanding the “why” of exercises is key for motivation, so we include short educational videos so that you can grasp the bigger picture. And, we know not everyone is an audio learner, so each section includes a printable PDF so that you can absorb the information in a format that works best for your learning style. We are super excited to bring you this class and wish you all the best in your 30 day shoulder rebuild!
