Shoulder Stretches - Exercises For Shoulder Problems and Traumas

Shoulder Stretches and shoulder injury exercises should always be performed under the guidance of a professional therapist who knows the complex structure and functioning of the shoulder joint. They should always be performed to speed up recovery for rehabilitation after a trauma or for all common shoulder problems such as Bursitis, Tendonitis, Impingement, which are all related, and even a Frozen Shoulder, in the thawing phase.

The rotator cuff is the most complex of joints, it allows for the widest range of motion of all limbs thanks to its very shallow structure and prevents the arm from becoming dislocated at every movement by keeping it into place. The four tendons connecting the top of the arm (humeral ball) to the shoulder bone (the shoulder blade glenoid, or socket) constantly slide on the bursa, a sack strategically positioned on the bones to prevent inflammation. Finally a capsule envelops the rotator cuff for protection.

The whole set up is complex but normally very durable and strong. However, when something goes wrong, it is also a recipe for long term problems and healing times, more so than any other joint. Sport people like tennis or golf players and weight lifters, who constantly perform repetitive motions with extreme force loads can often complain of shoulder problems as well as traumas and tears. But overall it is not necessary to play a sport to be affected by shoulder problems, because Tendonitis, Bursitis, Impingement and Frozen Shoulder are equal opportunity ailments that strike at any member of the population, regardless of lifestyle, age and gender.

Shoulder stretches and specific exercises should be performed repeatedly through the day, and not just when visiting a therapist. Constant commitment and progression are the key to successfully return the rotator cuff to the flexible joint is meant to be and to eliminate the pain always associated with these conditions, especially at night but not only.
