Improving Shoulder Flexion Here is a follow up to @sanchise387 post on training around shoulder flexion restrictions a few days ago. The following is an example of a routine we may use to improve overhead range of motion in clients at @movementasmedicine. Top Left: Diaphragmatic Breathing We often start by using diaphragmatic breathing drills to improve breathe patterning and neurological tone. Breathing can temporarily improve rib cage positioning and reduce resting muscle tone in the neck and shoulders. Top Right: PAILS/RAILS Breathing provides a temporary window of opportunity for joints to move better. It’s important to follow breathing interventions with focused mobility drills if we want to develop active control of the newly acquired range of motion. Active shoulder flexion PAILS/RAILS from @drandreospina are a valuable method to improve connective tissue functionality in the overhead position. Bottom Left: Active Isometric Holds Following PAIL/RAILS we have had great success incorporating active isomeric holds to develop isolated stability in the newly acquired range of motion. Bottom Right: Turkish Get-Up Finally, our goal is to integrate our new mobility into the desired training task. The Turkish Get-Up is one of our favorite tools to develop functional strength around the thoracic spine and shoulders -@kev_in_carr A video posted by Movement As Medicine (@movementasmedicine) on Jul 15, 2015 at 9:38am PDT
