Hi Sarah, thanks for coming in today, here is our plan: Summary of Session: Today we focused on improving your shoulder mobility and strengthening the muscles around your rotator cuff. Remember the importance of good posture and controlled movements during all your exercises. We also discussed some strategies for managing your discomfort throughout the day. 1. Pendulum Swings - Gently lean forward, letting your arm hang freely. Make small, controlled circles, first clockwise, then anti-clockwise. Keep your body still and let gravity assist. - 3 sets of 15 repetitions in each direction. 2. Wall Slides - Stand with your back against a wall, elbows and wrists touching the wall. Slowly slide your arms up the wall as far as comfortable, keeping your elbows and wrists in contact. Return to the start. - 2 sets of 10 repetitions. 3. External Rotation with Resistance Band - Hold a resistance band with both hands, elbows bent at 90 degrees and tucked into your sides. Slowly rotate your forearms outwards, pulling the band apart, keeping your elbows stationary. Control the return movement. - 3 sets of 12 repetitions. Key Educational Points: 1. Posture Awareness - Maintaining good posture throughout the day can significantly reduce strain on your shoulder. Think about drawing your shoulder blades down and back, and avoid slumping. 2. Pacing Activities - It's important not to push through pain. Break down activities into smaller chunks and take regular breaks to avoid aggravating your shoulder. Listen to your body and modify activities as needed. Keen to hear how you go with this!
