MA: Softball Player with Superolateral shoulder pain/pinch: SHOSA (2-19-19)
Hello Maddie, It was nice to meet you today. I am going to give you a sequence of movements to try below. I encourage you to use this sequence as a warm up pre soft ball and a cool down post softball. If any of the movements feel like they are increasing pain, STOP doing that particular movement. Try adding a new movement each day and let me know how it feels when comparing the right and left arm. So day 1 you will do movement #1, day 2 you will do movement #1 AND #2…AND SO ON. Let me know how things are going early next week through email and we can discuss what we do from here
Movement #1: Cross leg pec stretch
2 sets of 10-15 reps each side
Movement #2: Shoulder flexion/lat stretch, can be done kneeling or standing
8-15 reps short of pain
or standing
Movement #3:Behind the back progression
Keep this very light
8-15 reps
Movement #4: Prone I or band extension
light posterior shoulder activation with emphasis on scapular control
you can do with band or on stomach, whichever is easier
