⭐️ Learn common sense active rehab phases of different lesions/issues in the human body! I am showing REAL PATIENTS WITH REAL ISSUES, AND THE REAL SOLUTIONS-RESULTS! Remember that I am showing only ONE PART of their current program!

‼️ If you’re a rehab specialist, always look at the person in front of you first, do a good assessment, and choose if these exercises can (and should) be applied!

Her main goal is health, and playing racquet sports a bit. I was posting about her before, find it in my feed if interested. PS: The video is sped up 3-4x!

0. Warm-up: These are not the only ones done though, but they’re excellent mutiplanar moves for confidence as well, among other things (passive = very safe in this stage).

1. Active mobility here (till comfortable). We have a slight grip F here in order to activate rotator cuff 👌.

2. Reduced ROM front (big muscles, delts/pecs/serratus ant…), and back (posterior cuff) activation drill. Very safe and effective for both strength and mobility!

3. Multiplanar lighter (controlled) active stability exercise (CKC in this stage is 👌).

4. Light and safe joint mobility drill, preparing the shoulder joint for future mobility gains!

5. Isolated cuff strength is one of the most important things in the beginning!

6. Same here! Smart progression is needed overtime…

From my experience, most people don’t have any significant pain sensation while performing these exercises (even from the beginning of rehab). Of course, if pain is higher than acceptable, there are many ways to modify them! PS: I am talking about people who have shoulder pain (not the beginning of post-op shoulder rehab - many of these exercises can be applied post-op though). Last but not least, you noticed that all the exercises are CKC, as well as moving very slowly or ISO (everything for a REASON)…

1. Safe and easy push movement to engage most rotator cuff muscles and many other muscles important for shoulder health.

2. Actively pushing off the wall (very safe CKC exercise, great starting progression for overhead motion).

3. Starting to “open” capsule for future strength and mobility gains (great multidirectional cuff exercise as well).

4. Neutral position extension is important as well (45deg+ elbow elevation if posterior cuff is the main goal). If a little extension hurts a lot, start with ISO.

5-7. ER/ABD/flexion ISO, great and safe (angles as well) in the beginning, just be careful about intensity as some of them can be provoking (build it up)…

Chronic instability is tough! Bankart repair failed… The Laterjet procedure = good prognosis 👌. PS: The video is sped up 6x!

1. Bigger ball = more unstable, a football was a better option in his case (at that moment). Actively pushing against wall (non-stop) will work very hard on constant reactive cuff activation (much harder than it looks). Very safe, in most cases pain-free, exercise for quick results! Ask if not understanding how (the mechanism)!

2. Pushing against wall with elbow, plus ER on top of that = posterior rotator cuff “destroyer” 🔥! Ask if not understanding how (the mechanism)!

3. Safe exercise for all the cuff (& serratus ant.) muscles, particularly posterior cuff and supraspinatus! Ask if not understanding how (the mechanism)!

4. All the cuff muscles working hard, in a very safe position! Ask if not understanding how (the mechanism)!

He basically has pain from right side neck all the way down over the lats and pec area. His goal is good breathing (as he didn’t feel it right), mobility and gym. He is too stressed and not sleeping well (which contributes his issues for sure).
PS: The video is sped up 2-5x!

1. Relaxed arms while breathing and redirecting air into the posterior mediastinum. Row for cuff and upper back contraction…

2. Multiplanar move very useful for the core of the body!

3. He was limited in T spine rotations as well…

4. Redirecting air into the side rib cage as well (he was very stiff in his thorax).

5. One of the best moves for multiplanar movement of the entire area!

6. Full rib cage breathing while relaxing neck (way harder than it looks because of core engagement as well). Pressure device for direct feedback on how we are expanding upper back with each inhalation (very important part).

Her main goal is health and playing racquet sports a little. She has a history of shoulder instability, so it makes sense that strengthening of active stabilizers is our main goal! Her supraspinatus repair reminds us though that we should approach very carefully first 6-8 weeks post-op! Mobility and isolated strength (the second part of the program) are the main goals in this stage. PS: The video is sped up 4-5x!

1. One of the best and safest options in the beginning - for mobility, movement, and confidence!

2. The same here, plus light activation!

3. Important to reach full (& a bit uncomfortable) ROM.

4. The same here (fully passive in the beginning).

5. Adding a slight elbow elevation at the end of forearm elevation will engage proximal biceps more.

6. Very safe stability drill in the beginning - a slight inclination first.

7. Mobilizing the joint this way will open space for future mobility gains (very safe at first, before moving on to the bed and wall vars…).

8. G force helps, even doing it a bit actively isn’t bad in the beginning…

A constant stability demands in throwing-specific position is what gives the biggest value when it comes to these vars (particularly useful for throwing CONTACT sports). We are engaging all the cuff muscles in order to stabilize the shoulder joint (posterior cuff a bit more in probe pos., and subscap. a bit more in supine pos.)!

Light DB throw-catching moves is a natural way to increase cuff activity (particularly when holding heavier DB). Using a band and a plate is very useful because it’s less predictable (especially when intentionally pushing/pulling in different directions). It’s great for reactive cuff activation!

I was posting about him before… Quadriceps progressive overload is the most important goal of his rehab! This is the second part of his second stage rehab program. PS: The video is sped up 3-5x…

1. Safe walking pattern introduction (straight knee), reintroducing single-legged balance as well!

2. Important to work on quad strength in both long and short muscle length - both legs at the same time first because it’s easier (control the depth).

3. Straight knee eccentric calf strength first because it’s easier (and straight knee doesn’t load patellar tendon much…). Doing both conc/ecc. with non-injured leg. Negatives are very important!

4. Stretching (lightly) the injured quads the same time (most of BW over the front leg). Very important to keep strengthening the non-injured leg (cross-education is just 1 of many reasons).

5. Finding non-painful (or no more than 3 out of 10 pain) angle and go from there (3-5 sets of 1-2 min. holds is plenty in the beginning).

👉🏻 Home program: Loading quads (ISO) while doing calf raises; The same while doing hip hinges; Loading quads (straight leg raises are not super hard for quads) and opposite leg GB the same time; Slightly loading quads while burning hams!

If having 3+ out of 10 pain while performing the specific exercise (careful, it’s about tendon surgery).

Sure, we are talking only about 2 exercises, many more things should be covered during rehab (reactive stability, overhead stuff, crawling, different angles…)! But, if you ask me to choose only 2 (with all the progression variations, and variations in general), I would probably choose these… PS: The video is sped up 2x!

1. Lower elbow position in the beginning (as well as finding the right angle at the moment). If you want to involve subscap as well, just place elbow fully in frontal plane (probably impossible in the beginning of rehab). Pressing elbow against wall (inclined body) will activate particularly posterior cuff very well (plus doing it in longer muscle length is a bit more effective - adjust the angle). Controlled ER on top of that 🔥!

2. Very safe exercise (G force helps stab.) that isolates targeted musculature well (neck/head relaxed - laying pos.). Slow and controlled ecc. (and conc.) IR (subscap.). Press with plus (scapular protraction for serratus ant. and extra posterior cuff activation), and include full ROM - controlled DB rotations (with straight arm) if you want stability component as well (all the cuff muscles activated 🔥).

🙋🏻‍♂️ RATIONALE BEHIND THE CHOSEN EXERCISES?

Don’t underestimate anterior cuff and active/passive stabilizers (subscap. is the biggest rotator cuff muscle for the reason)! But, that’s for another post…

1. You are basically pushing against wall with elbow - inclined body (which fires up posterior cuff in this higher elbow angle/elevation, plus doing it in longer muscle length is a bit more effective). And, she is doing ER on top of that 🔥!

2. She is constantly pushing arm forward in order to keep touching my hand, which turns off traps and fires up the posterior cuff (scapular retractors cannot help). Sure, posterior delt is working as well (as any other horizontal ABD variation). Plus rhythmic stabilization is activating all the cuff muscles, in a safe and advantageous position in the beginning 🔥!

🙋🏻‍♂️ WHEN TO AVOID (or modify) SOME OF THESE?
If having 3-4+ out of 10 pain while performing the specific exercise.
