My left shoulder was aching yesterday, probably from one of my deadlifts, pull-ups, kettlebell press, or push-ups.
I tried to look for the cause to prevent it from worsening and improve my technique. I happened to stumble upon Dr. David Middaugh from El Paso Physical Therapy.
In his video below, Dr. David said, “Shoulder impingement, shoulder tendinitis, and rotator cuff tear are on a spectrum of shoulder pain and are related to one another, and one leads to the next.”
That reminded me that my plantar fasciitis led to a partial plantar fascia tear. I talked about that in How to Walk Correctly.
The concept parallels what happens in high blood sugar and hypertension. Heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and its complications, as most readers know, do not happen overnight. Like joint pains, it takes decades for them to develop.
Hanging
For those with chronic shoulder pain, Dr. David had an interview with Dr. John M. Kirsch, an orthopedic surgeon who wrote the book Shoulder Pain? The Solution & Prevention.
The book discusses the benefits of hanging with your arms on a bar to relieve shoulder pains. Dr. Kirsch mentioned that some shoulder conditions that needed surgeries could be helped with hanging.
I read the reviews on Amazon, and plenty of testimonies about its effectiveness exist. The negative comments are directed at writing and editing.
Bob & Brad, both physical therapists, explains how hanging improves the shoulders in the video below.
Posture Correction
Poor posture can lead to neck, back, shoulder pain and headaches. The video below shows how to correct poor posture.
Another video that I like about posture correction is shown below.
Proper Exercise Techniques to Prevent Shoulder Pain
For those who do pull-ups, the video from E3 Rehab shows how to prevent shoulder and elbow pain from happening.
And for those who use kettlebells, Pavel Tsatsouline shows the correct technique for the kettlebell swing, Turkish get-up, the clean, the press, and the snatch below.
