🧊 肩周炎復康日記 — Elephant 大象式篇！ 🐘💪🏻

睇落好似只係一個簡單嘅伸展動作？其實冇咁簡單㗎！😆

今次挑戰 Reformer Pilates 嘅 Elephant（大象式），重點唔係拉筋，而係全身肌肉嘅協調同控制！✨

🐘 核心＋腹肌：發力將滑床拉返入嚟

🦵🏻 雙腿＋臀部：控制滑床向外推

🙌🏻 雙手：放喺 Footbar 上，承托大約一半體重，幫助保持平衡，而唔係靠雙手用力推或者死死抓實！

💡 對我嚟講，真正嘅挑戰係肩膊！

要時刻提醒自己保持肩膊打開、向下沉，遠離耳仔！🙈

因為之前肩膊受傷，呢個動作對我嚟講仍然唔容易。稍為唔留神，肩膊就會不自覺咁聳起，差啲貼住耳仔！😅

呢個亦都係我復康過程中一直努力改善嘅地方。💪🏻

復康唔單止係恢復活動幅度，更重要係重新學習點樣控制身體，建立穩定性同力量。✨

💬 同樣受肩周炎困擾嘅朋友，你哋做運動嗰陣，肩膊會唔會都不自覺咁聳起？ 👇🏻

Frozen Shoulder Rehab 🧊 — Elephant edition

The Elephant looks like a stretch. It's not. 🐘

Core + abs pull the carriage in. Legs + hips press it out. Hands on the footbar carry ~50% of my weight for balance — no pushing, no death gripping.

The real work: shoulders wide, down, and away from my ears. Still the part I struggle with because of my injury — my shoulder wants to live up by my ear. 😅

Frozen shoulder friends: do yours creep up too? 👇

POV: your business trip turns into a girls' trip ✈️🤍

幾個星期前，我同好朋友兼事業拍檔一齊飛去洛杉磯，參加專業培訓課程！💪🏻

難得去一趟 LA，我哋仲特登提早一日出發，趁課程開始之前四圍行吓、食吓、Chill 吓！😎💕 呢個決定真係太正啦！

日頭密密上堂學習，夜晚就繼續探索 LA！🌴 除咗課堂上學到嘅專業知識，其實一路上嘅交流、分享同經歷，都帶畀我好多新啟發。✨

最開心嘅，係身邊有一位同樣熱愛學習、追求進步嘅好朋友兼事業拍檔！🥹🤍 能夠一齊學習、一齊成長，仲可以一齊玩，真係好難得！

今次帶返嚟嘅唔止係滿滿嘅回憶，仲有好多新知識、新角度同新想法，已經急不及待想慢慢應用喺日後嘅臨床治療當中！💪🏻

Work hard, learn hard, play hard！✈️💕

你又有冇一位可以陪你一齊學習、一齊進步，仲可以一齊去旅行嘅好拍檔？Tag 佢出嚟啦！👇🏻❤️

A couple of weeks ago, and I packed our bags for LA — and flew in a day early just to explore and chill before Scolio-Pilates training began. Best decision ever.

Training by day, exploring by night — and I learned just as much in between the sessions.

Grateful doesn't cover it. Having a business partner who's just as obsessed with growing as I am? That's the real win. We came home with new perspectives and so much we're bringing straight back into our practice 💪

Who's the person you love learning alongside? Tag them 👇

💪🏻 五十肩復健日記｜今次隻膊頭撐唔撐得住？ 👀

要令肩膊郁得返係一回事，但當身體郁動嘅時候，仲要肩膊承受一定負荷，同時保持穩定，又係另一個挑戰！💪🏻

今次做 Pilates Reformer 嘅 Long Stretch，真係明顯感受到左右兩邊肩膊嘅分別！😅 尤其係右邊肩膊，成個過程都需要更加集中精神，留意肩膊嘅穩定性同動作控制。

其實呢個動作唔係要勉強自己拉得更盡，而係透過練習，慢慢提升身體感知、肩膊控制能力，同埋對自己動作嘅信心！✨

💬 你做運動嗰陣，有冇發現自己左右兩邊嘅力量或者靈活度有分別？

🧊 Frozen Shoulder Rehab: Can MY Shoulder HOLD the Stretch? 👀

Getting your shoulder to move is one thing. Keeping it stable under load while your body moves? That’s another challenge! 💪

I definitely felt the difference between my two sides! 😅 My right shoulder needed a lot more attention and control throughout this exercise.

This Reformer Pilates exercise isn’t about forcing a deeper stretch. It’s about building awareness, control, and confidence in your movement. ✨

💬 Do you notice a difference between your left and right sides?

📌 Save this for your next Pilates session!

終於肯俾自己慢落嚟 🥹✨
望住個海發下呆 🌊
感受下 Disney 嘅夢幻氣氛 🏰🤍
唔趕行程、唔趕時間，今日唯一要做嘅就係——好好享受個假期。✨
有時真係要識得停一停，叉叉電 🔋
食好啲、瞓好啲、睇靚景，乜都唔使諗。😌
呢個 Disney Cruise，真係我需要嘅 reset。🤍✨

Finally gave myself permission to slow down. 🥹✨
Ocean views, Disney magic, and nowhere else to be. 🌊🏰🤍
Exactly the reset I needed. ✨

💙復康唔只係「做多啲、練大力啲」，而係要知道自己身體而家準備好去到邊一步。✨

今次我開始喺 Reformer 加入更多動態動作（dynamic movement），包括 Knee Hovers & Jack Rabbit。由雙手支撐喺 foot bar，到慢慢加入肩胛骨嘅動態控制，每一步都係按住身體當刻嘅狀態去調整。

對我嚟講，肩膊復康唔係追求快，而係由 mobility → control → strength → dynamic movement，一步一步將動作重新建立返。💪🏻

有時進步未必係舉得更重，而係身體開始可以更自然、更有控制咁郁。💙

Little by little, getting there. 🙌🏻

💙 Shoulder Rehab Progress | Moving Beyond Strength

Rehab isn’t just about doing more or getting stronger—it’s about knowing what your body is ready for at each stage. ✨

This time, I’m starting to add more dynamic movement on the Reformer, including Knee Hovers & Jack Rabbit. From supporting my forearms on the box to load my shoulders to gradually introducing more dynamic movement, every progression is based on what my body/injured shoulder is ready for.

For me, shoulder rehab has been about rebuilding step by step:
mobility → control → strength → dynamic movement 💪🏻

Sometimes progress isn’t about lifting heavier. It’s being able to move with more control, confidence, and freedom.

Little by little, getting there. 💙

肩膀康復不只是追求幅度，更重要的是控制力與動作質量！ 💫

現階段，我開始將「臨床普拉提 Clinical Pilates」融入肩膀復健，重點是讓肩胛骨、胸椎與核心更協調地一起工作。

✨ Prone Scapular Protraction & Retraction
保持手肘伸直，控制肩胛骨沿著肋骨滑動。仔細看會發現，我受傷的右側明顯沒有左側順暢。

✨ Progress to Swan
按壓推送桿，呼氣啟動核心，加入小幅胸椎伸展，再控制回到起始位置。

💡 Physio Tip：Control → Integrate → Progress

Shoulder rehab isn’t just about range — it’s about quality and control. 💫

I’m now incorporating Clinical Pilates to improve how my shoulder blade, thoracic spine and core work together.

✨ Prone Scapular Protraction & Retraction
Control the shoulder blades as they glide around the rib cage. You can see my injured right side still isn’t moving as smoothly as my left.

✨ Progress to Swan
Press into the bar, engage the deep core and add a small thoracic extension before returning with control.

💡 Physio Tip: Control → Integrate → Progress

係咪有時會覺得，做復康嗰陣要靠器材/輔助，就好似退步咗咁？💭

肩周炎（五十肩）真係好令人煩躁，但上 Reformer（核心床）絕非偷懶！佢係畀個關節一個有支撐又安全嘅環境，等個膊頭唔使同自己死抗，真正放鬆咁去動起來。

💡 物理治療小 Tips：接受輔助唔係退步。有時有支撐，反而令我哋動得更好、更順暢。
對自己嘅身體畀多點耐心，有意識咁去練，善用器材幫自己啦！✨

Ever feel like using support means you’re taking a step back in your recovery? 💭

Dealing with a frozen shoulder can be wildly frustrating, but hopping on the Reformer isn't about taking the easy way out. It’s about giving the joint the controlled environment and assistance it needs so you can actually move without fighting your own body.

💡 PHYSIO TIP: Support isn't a step backwards. Sometimes support helps us move better.
Be patient with your process, move with intention, and let the equipment work for you! ✨
