EC: Left Shoulder Impingement: Online Program (3-30-20)

This program will focus on adding a new movement every couple days so we can assess your body’s response to each new movement. As I give you these movements I encourage you to watch the video first and then try the movement.
It is very important to note that when in the office, I am constantly asking patients when they are doing an exercise a couple things
- Is it causing any pain/discomfort
- If it is, as you are doing it do you feel it is getting better, worse or staying the same as you continue to do it
- How do you feel afterwards
- If the answer is there is a little pain but it stays the same or gets better the more I do it, OR there is pain but when I stop the pain has not significantly increased, then that is fine to do
With this online program, you have to recognize if what you are doing feels helpful or harmful
- If it doesn’t feel good or it causes pain, stop doing it and email me and I can make an adjustment
Day 1-2
- Movement #1: Door way Shoulder Extension:
  - 11) Shoulder Extension Mountain Pose VIDEO
  - Do this 10-15x lightly
  - This can be done often throughout the day even if not in a door way after sitting or doing anything that rounds you forward
  - I would rather you do this gently and often
  - Goal: 5-10x a day
Day 3-4
- Keep Movement #1 and add movement #2 below
- Movement #2: Can do the band version or the option laying on your stomach, you can choose one of the options or do both
  - 73.1) Updated Band Tricep Extension VIDEO
  - 111) Off Edge of Bed VIDEO
  - 8-15 reps for each one
  - This can be completed 2x/day
Day 5-6
- Keep movement #1 and #2 as long as they did not cause any pain
- Movement #3: Cross Leg pec Stretch
  - 26) Cross Leg Lower Trunk Rotation Pec Stretch VIDEO
    - This movement is good to open up the chest and it stretches some areas in the lpow back and hip at the same time
    - If this is painful, let me know and I can give you an alternative
    - Repeat this movement 10-15 reps to each side
