It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I’ve been coming across a common theme which I would like to address. I know that I am not the first person to say this, but I also know that not everyone knows this information. - I often hear people say that they are injured and then feel too scared to move, or at some point they were told not to. The truth is, just like massage helps bring blood flow to an area, so too does movement. That and other things. Why do you think patients are immediately told to get up after a hip or knee surgery? Movement heals! The problem that started the injury often comes from the body not actually moving in all planes of movement regularly. Even in typical weight lifting it can be quite linear in approach. We need circular movements, asymmetrical, sideways, over head, flexion/extension, TWISTING. Here are just a few of my favorites of shoulder mobility using light weights to encourage stability within the movement. Stretching alone oftentimes is not enough- this coming from a yoga teacher.
