Re: Shoulder Decompression Surgery

Re: Frozen Shoulder

Re: Red Spots Around EYES!!!

Re: Deciphering Shoulder MRI
Well, they're likely evaluating your resting position on the MRI, considering joint laxity cannot be assessed via MRI, only via functional testing (unless lax due to a tear). This means that you are...

Looking for the name of a type of squat
Hey guys,
I can't remember the name of the squat for the life of me. It entails standing on the side of the barbell, where the weight (of one side) is loaded. The individual then squats down,...

Re: Cuban Press- Shoulder rehab
This could help, but a lot of the time, the most bang for your buck comes from straight stretching of the pecs. Deltoid isn't very important for overall scapular or humeral positioning so I wouldn't...

Re: Cuban Press- Shoulder rehab
Yeah, you definitely need to work on both your pec major and minor to improve the range of your scapula and humerus. You can do some normal stretching and some mobility work if you refer to Kelly...
