Exercise Progression for the Tough to Treat Shoulder

Aug 25, 2022

The shoulder can be tough to treat at times, right? 

It consists of many regions of the body and in order to design an exercise progression that gets results, you must:

*Down train the old dominant strategy first
*Be innovative with release positions to tease out certain muscles that are overactive
*Train volume of easy exercise at a low level 
*Use hands and knees as a treatment and exercise progression

This episode discusses all this and much more!   

Remember, consider the impairment. Once you have this, then you can begin to formulate an effective exercise progression that works.
