How to cure shoulder problems (Trust me this will do it 90% of the time) - Page 2

I always wanted to tell you that you cannot turn your wrist in order to get the broomstick handle behind you, but I figured you must have triple jointed wrists or something, so I never said a word, but you can blame it on low carbs if you wish...

I wondered what the hell you were writing. I'm very flexible (just ask KR :p ) but to the hamstrings? No way without bending backwards! lol

So within 1 rep, the towel/broomstick goes over your head twice?

i have always had trouble with my joints so this really interests me but i am not sure if i am following you 100% on how to do it. is this how far back you want (see drawing) or lower?

**Doggcrapp** · 01-23-2005, 03:28 PM

thats about right--if its a broomstick---youll know once you get past the really tight position overhead

nemo · 01-23-2005, 06:26 PM

i tried it out and liked it, thanks a lot for the help dante

Thx nemo. I was curious about that as well. ..

BeeJ · 01-23-2005, 07:35 PM

Thanks for clearing things up. I only went down to midback (actually maybe mid neck lol) and just thought I was too tight to make it to the hammies. Glad to see I am not as rigid as I once thought.

They make a bar (or at least used to) that was made for this stretching movement. I had used it in the past but I always just stretched and held it and didn't make it into a dynamic movement. Makes sense that actively stretching like that would clear up impingement though.

I reckon I could give you a good run for that title!!

All jokes aside, a very informative post (as always). After years f heavy training and countless nagging shoulder problems I will def be giving this a try.

I did 25 with a beach towel. It was pretty tough.

I'll go for 30 next time.

To capture a picture from windows media player, version 9 or 10, pause at the pic point you want and then press (Ctrl i) at the same time and there you go!

Khan · 01-24-2005, 02:50 PM

IH mentioned these to me a long time ago, and told me to keep it a secret. I did, but I guess DC let the cat out of the bag. I was having problems with my left rotator, and it is no longer a problem. I got up to doing 50 easy ones, but I have flexible shoulders anyway (a side-effect to many years of martial arts).

cocktaill5555 · 01-25-2005, 05:57 PM

ok i just tried this exersize and holy crap!!!!!!......i must be the most unflexable person alive.......i cant bring the stick past my head.........im 6'3" and very lanky......maybe i need a longer broom stick

PTAaron · 01-25-2005, 09:52 PM

I have a book called Autostretching that we use a lot for patients, and it has a great picture of this stretch in it - I put it on my desk to bring home so I could scan and post it for everyone, but I forgot it... I'll try to remember it for tomorrow night!

frankyforearms · 01-26-2005, 08:45 AM

I can do the exercise fine, however my left shoulder keeps clicking once I get past overhead and down my back. I had a partical tear in my rotator cuff 17 months ago but no pain now. Should I keep doing the exercise if there's no pain and will the clicking go away?

PTAaron · 01-26-2005, 11:27 AM

Probably not a good thing to do with a partial tear of a rotator cuff muscle. The clicking probably won't go away - but if it doesn't hurt, don't be overly concerned with it. It could be anything from a tendon snapping over another structure to a labrum tear that your humeral head is rolling over - but if it doesn't cause pain it probably isn't a problem.

frankyforearms · 01-26-2005, 03:40 PM

Thanks PTAAron. I tore it in september of 2003. I was out for 6 months and I'm slowly working my way back into lifting heavy again. It hasn't caused any pain over the last six months. But when doing that exercise it kept clicking.
Thanks again.

PTAaron · 01-26-2005, 10:23 PM

DC - maybe you can use this instead of the stick drawing... I can try to get a cleaner scan of it for ya if you want it... I had to use my digital camera to get this one.

**Doggcrapp** · 01-26-2005, 11:16 PM

awesome aaron--thanks!

RollinsClone · 01-27-2005, 03:03 AM

is there any disadvantage to using a flex band, I've been using a light flex band and it hit my shoulder really well, right where the problem spot is, but whenever I get to the point overhead where it gets really tight my arms stretch the band just enough so I can go over. Compared to using a broom or towel (which wouldn't flex) is this a good option?

* I wonder why I keep being called analytical?* lol
