Can you do these shoulder dislocations with such a narrow grip??? Try it! Use this to warm up before climbing! Before dodgeball! Before anything where you&;ll need your shoulders. @jemma_lee32 (@get_repost)・・・I strongly feel that mobility (and flexibility) training should be prioritised – how can you really develop full strength if you cannot move through a full range of motion? Not only this, but being able to move freely helps to prevent injury and improve recovery. And in Gymnastics Strength Training, if your joints cannot move safely through a full range then you WILL hit a road block when it comes to progressing certain skills. There are simply no shortcuts when it comes to improving mobility. More is not always better. A reasonable amount, done consistently over time, with a dose of patience will go a long way PS: these standing shoulder inlocates are great as a mobility exercise and pre-hab tool. Always room to improve, but when I first attempted this exercise 18 months ago I needed a longer stick gst posted on November 15, 2017 by Dr. Jonathan Leung | No comments by
This is a great warm up exercise I enjoy using before any handstand work and climbing. OPEN UP YOUR SHOULDERS.

Starting up some new programming as suggested by a patient of mine. Reminding me of the days we used to lift in the school gym together. Even though we may all have our own challenges now we can still push each other up and grow from the struggle. @hk.rehab@philio10@geotran32 @mpchiropractic @primewayoflife (@get_repost)・・・Embrace the struggle, let it make you stronger posted on September 27, 2017 by Dr. Jonathan Leung | No comments by
@dr_nhan (@get_repost)・・・Shoulder Impingement Syndrome (aka Subacromial Impingment): one of the most common conditions I see that result in shoulder pain. Most patients will complain of pain near the front or side of the shoulder with very particular arm movements, usually involving flexion and/or abduction of the glenohumeral joint along with certain degrees of internal and external rotation. Some may experience referral pain on the side of the arm or even down near the elbow, thinking it&;s elbow pain.Anatomically, when the arm is lifted into these painful ranges, the structures between the humerus and acromion (what we call the subacromial space) have the potential to get pinched. These structures may include the supraspinatus tendon, biceps tendon, subacromial bursa, and subscapularis tendon. The reason this pinch occurs is most commonly due to less than optimal biomechanical movement – the most common being scapular instability, scapular dyskinesis, and poor rotator cuff engagement or sequencing. Hence, if you attempt to move the shoulder without proper shoulder stability or muscle firing patterns, the humerus can ride up too close to the acromion which causes the structures in the subacromial space to pinch underneath the acromion. Thus, to mend these issues one must train the muscles that stabilize the scapula and the rotator cuffs muscles to function appropriately. My shoulder protocol of choice for these cases involve training the serratus anterior with high plank protractions, rhomboids with rows, subscapularis with internal rotations, infraspinatus and teres minor with external rotations, and posterior deltoid with horizontal abductions. You can refer to the last four exercise videos on this page for demos on variations of these exercises. This protocol is also a great prehab warm up routine that I personally use before my upper body days in the gym, which can help PREVENT shoulder impingement from even occurring.

As some of you knoe I&;m back from injury. Few days back and shout out to my boy here. I hit up a brand new neck strain. @climbmovetherapy (@get_repost)・・・Climbing Whiplash! .We usually associate whiplash with motor vehicle accidents, but it can happen anywhere. posted on July 12, 2017 by Dr. Jonathan Leung | No comments
