⭐️ 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!
🙋🏻♂️ RATIONALE BEHIND THE CHOSEN EXERCISES?
It was a luxation incident after smashing against other player duringa football match (anterior luxation). Bankart lesion, 2 years ago! July 2025 - Later jet procedure! So, he came to us with “something doesn’t feel right” feeling, about a year post-op. He previously did rehab… Goal: Back to gym, football (sports in general)… Pushing motion pain in front shoulder area, and when doing end-range extension - typical pattern for anterior shoulder instability! Focus: ER, all cuff F. (subscap. as well), sh. stability, scapular protraction and UR, end-range overhead capacity! P.S. The video is sped up 2-5x!
1. Needs to touch my hand in order to activate serratus ant. a bit more. Diagonal move for holding scapula on the rib cage. All the cuff engage as well (supraspinatus as we lift, subscap. preventing superior ball translation, and posterior cuff holding the ball centered in the socket from behind).
2. Intentionally not squeezing scaps back in order to activate posterior cuff better (elbows lifted at least 45deg if posterior cuff is the main goal). subscap. activated as well in order to prevent posterior ball translation.
3. Squeezing a ball for a bit better cuff activity. “Opening” back and front shoulder capsule for better mobility, while cuff activation is high all the time trying to stabilize the joint dynamically.
4. Controlled rotations in a safe position is one of the best ways to improve an actual rotation ability. We can add rhythmic stabilization in neutral position to increase cuff activity, as well as manually resist on top of that…
5. No extra delts involvement, a very safe position where G forces help a lot.
6. Serratus ant. and all the rotator cuff engagement in a safe position. This is a great variation that rarely hurts even in the beginning of rehab (pushing with dynamic stability where G forces help joint stability is often the key)…
7. An extra cuff activation through the “radiation” phenomenon. Reactive cuff activation while doing the secondary task (not thinking about the KB maintenance). A very useful for all the cuff muscles!
🙋🏻♂️ WHEN TO AVOID (or modify) SOME OF THESE?
If having 5+ out of 10 pain while performing the specific exercise.
