Manage Back Pain

Shoulder Rehab Exercises.

Shoulder rehab exercises are very important in the overall management of shoulder and related back pain. But you need to be aware of the following.


The type of exercise that you do will depend on the initial causes of shoulder pain and injury that you have. Diagnosis is the key.

Subsequent to a correct diagnosis, shoulder rehab exercises are a necessity in the overall management of your shoulder pain.

Before you embark on exercises for your shoulder pain - you must ensure that you do not have fractures and total ruptures of either bones, muscles and tendons. Your doctor or physiotherapist will check you out correctly - and if they are unsure they will send you for an x-ray or MRI scan to confirm their findings. Once a diagnosis has been made, exercises and treatment are safe to follow.



In all cases of shoulder pain, other than fractures and ruptures, movement is of great importance from the outset. I see as many shoulder problems which have worsened from lack of movement as I do from injury to the shoulder alone. From the outset you should move your shoulder in all directions and ranges that do not hurt. This involves moving your arm forwards, backwards, out to the side, reaching up your back and down your back. Repeat each movement five times every 2 hours until you have received specific help from a doctor or physiotherapist.


Shoulder pain that does not resolve within three days of performing these simple shoulder rehab exercises demands medical attention in order to avoid the complications of lack of movement, inappropriate movement or neglect.


Do not sit and wait with a painful shoulder - it may develop into chronic shoulder pain over time!


Once you have been assessed, and a diagnosis has been made, your shoulder rehab exercises will have to be tailored to your specific injury, type of pain and posture. My good posture advice will help you - but more importantly seek a physiotherapist who can identify your problem, and has the skills to work with your shoulder pain in an effective way, including home exercises.
