Shoulder Mobility Tutorial - Healing & Injury Prevention

Описание: In this video, we are practicing a sequence recommended for self-healing, injury prevention, and general overall maintenance of the shoulder joints. This is not the cure for your shoulder issues, but it is a great tool and asset to help facilitate a complete recovery, as well as to build up stronger and more mobile joints. Whether you are trying to get over an old injury, training for a competition, preparing for a surgery, or just trying to "bulletproof" your joints, this is a great routine to hone in on the joints of the shoulders and get started.

This video is meant to be followed along and the descriptions are displayed for a short time. If this is your first time watching and you need to read the descriptions, be prepared to pause the video in between clips.

The content in these videos are based on my experience as a martial artist, Shiatsu therapist, FRC mobility specialist, and MovNat Level III trainer. It was conceived as a general follow-along sequence that I could give my clients as a reference to practice between treatment or training sessions to get them started before further personalizing the sequence for each case.

Much of the joint rotation work is greatly inspired by the work of Dr. Andreo Spina. If you find this helpful be sure to look up his Functional Range Conditioning system. The purpose of joint rotation is threefold; it helps us assess the functional condition of our joints (especially the deep joint capsule), maintain the ends of our ranges of motion, and rehabilitate the joints through anti-inflammatory movement. Try to avoid painful ranges, and move very slowly with control for these.

Natural Movement is an integral part of this. Functional movements are vital, but practical movements like crawling, throwing, and climbing are where a lot of the profound shifts seem to happen once things are settling in place.

Always avoid the feeling of a closed angle impingement. If you ever feel a sharp pain during your movement, dial it back or use some kind of bolster, or tool to make sure that you are remaining in your comfortable range of motion.

For Shiatsu, always try and use the force of gravity to apply pressure, rather than the strength of your fingers or arms. Apply a deep, soothing pressure that is gentle enough to relax into, but firm enough to penetrate the deeper levels. Don't think about pushing muscle tissues, but rather pressing through your entire structure.
