@pt_with_jt: SHOULDER WEEK EP. 2: 3 Phases of Shoulder Stability Phase 1: training ribcage control with the rib stack (your shoulder blade glides on the ribcage so it needs that stable base to move smoothly on Phase 2: mastering the scapular posterior tilt motion (crucial for overhead mobility and takes a TON of pressure off the anterior shoulder in daily movements) Phase 3: gradually progressing through rotator cuff strengthening (you have to train the rotator cuff to fire at different positions or you’ll stay limited with what you can do in the gym pain-free) This was the difference between a successful return to activity and having constant flare-ups when I returned to weightlifting. I work as an online strength coach helping to guide people through these phases individualizing their exercises and determining when it’s appropriate for them to progress. Comment “SHOULDER” if you’re ready to get your shoulder health back. #shoulderrehab #shoulderdislocation #shoulderinjury #shoulderinjuryrecovery #shoulderpainrelief
