Shoulder Rehab Series
The shoulder is a joint that heavily relies upon the muscular system, due to it's structure.
Shoulder Rehabilitation Stages:
Foundation: Essential trunk and spine isometrics to create stability.
Isolation: Eliminating weakness with essential shoulder joint isometrics.
Integration: Improviong mobility with integrated joint isometrics.
Movement: Improving concentric and eccentric contractions around the shoulder and surrounding joints.
Strengthen: Adding resistance / load to our joints to safely encourage muscle hypertophy.
Challenge: Improving the muscles' ability to contract efficiently on-demand.
* This does not have to be done in successive days. Spend as much time as needed in each level of progression, as there is no rush. Use a gentle, consistent approach to getting your joint stronger, then feel free to explore other workouts in the shoulder as well as the core and hip regions.
