5 Movements EVERYONE Should Master for Pain-Free Shoulders

Fundamental movements are the building blocks for healthy movement patterns and pain-free shoulders. Learning to integrate these five movements into your everyday motions, from sports to putting the dishes away, will help you build strong, stable shoulders capable of doing whatever it is you ask of them.
These fundamentals apply to everyone, from athletes to regular people.
The only equipment you'll need is a strength band for movement 5. If you don't have one, you can use a bungee cord, leggings, or anything else with a little stretch.
Movement 1 is going to prevent impingement in the subacromial space.
Movement 2 prevents and corrects poor posture. It also reinforces movement 1.
Movement 3 is a combo. You'll improve your cervical spine health and decrease shoulder tension. (Extra good for people who carry their stress in their shoulders.)
Movement 4 restores external and internal rotation of the upper arm, keeping your arm properly seated in the shoulder socket.
Movement 5 helps build good shoulder girdle alignment. It applies to all pulling motions and exercises you find yourself doing during your day.
Remember to fight yourself at the end range of motion on these movements. That's how you improve!

Thanx Coach E. From my original Aug injury until now I have slowly worked up to a few of the different shoulder, back, and now pelvic exercises. This all makes perfect sense to me. I had numerous injuries working in dangerous field and found that stretches just did nothing for me, pain pills led to a cycle of addiction and pain that was awful. To have a system of exercises that correct all these posture errors is great. To have pain relief and a growing understanding of the fundamentals of my posture seems like a miracle. My body tells me now ok buddy poor posture you are going to have pain and understand the mechanics of that is just so awesome. Have a great holiday season with your family. Thank you very much! Effective technique is all we need. Once my body understood it all started coming together and I am just starting!

Happy to help. Please experiment with the height and forward position of your elbow in each exercise. Make sure to do each exercise in a way that does not cause pain. Also, back off on any muscular activation and make your movements slower. Start where you feel that you have the most control and go from there.

The Axial Rotation exercise feels like an absolute game changer!

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Glad to read that :)

[@bellaschnella1602]

​@@PrecisionMovementCoachI've got a question about the training sequence: Would you recommend to go through the exercises one after the other and then repeat (like in circle training) or rather do two sets of an exercise right after the other with a minute or so of pause in between and then go on to the next exercise?

[@lijaryalki]

@@bellaschnella1602You can do either method, but, in this case, I’d recommend doing the prescribed two sets of each exercise then moving onto the next exercise. As far as pausing for a minute or so in between sets (and exercises), there’s no need to do that with this type of regimen. As soon as you finish one set, just gather yourself for a couple of seconds then commence with the second set. If you want/need something to do in between sets, you can take a couple of deep breaths and gently shake your arms out. On a tangential note, another option is to do a one set circuit of this exercise regimen everyday (instead of 2 sets, 2 to 3 days a week). There are many variables to consider, but generally speaking, doing daily, brief workouts are more time efficient and palatable for many people to do (as opposed to doing longer workouts) and the benefits reaped will essentially be the same. On a closing note, I’m not affiliated with Eric, but like his sensible approach to things. FYI, I’m a retired exercise physiologist but remain a perpetual student.

[@mark77108]

Coach E, thank you for this and for all of your thorough, clear videos. I have a question regarding the distinction between thoracic extension and posterior scapular tilt; or, more to the point, whether posterior tilt can be distinguished as a deliberate movement. Put another way, I know how to extend my thoracic spine, and of course when I do the scapula moves with it. But I don't know how to "feel" and tilt the scapula independently. Is this something that can be done? Or is posterior tilt necessarily something that happens in conjunction with thoracic extension? And, if posterior tilt is something that can be done independently, are there any specific cues that are helpful in "finding" that control? Thank you again!

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Hey! If you practice enough you will be able to feel and isolate your scapula. Check out this video for more tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqC9kK2Lmceqp68 :)

[@mark77108]

@@PrecisionMovementCoach I'm on it. Much appreciated!

[@edwigcarol4888]

😊 we all struggle with the fact that all our muscles are highly integrated. Amazing, very smart thing indeed. One single movement here and a cascade of accompanying movements occur. I just feel like you with that. Some progress recently in sorting out different muscles from one another... Shoulders and thoracic spine ! such an interesting topic to practice on...

[@mark77108]

For sure. Engaging a muscle deliberately, as opposed to simply having a movement end goal in mind (like getting from point A to point B, or grabbing something from a shelf), is such a fundamentally different way to move. It definitely takes some practice to develop the awareness and motor control. Very interesting and fruitful though I think. @@edwigcarol4888

You are on the right track. Arm twisting is definitely involved. Watch it again and take notes when you do. Follow along with Eric and copy his movements. You can even read the transcript. He does name the muscles, movements, and arm parts involved. Do that a couple of times, and you'll definitely nail it down :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM

@@PrecisionMovementCoachThank you for your reply. I actually did watch it several times before commenting and I still had trouble seeing the exact movement. I’ll try reading the transcript.

You are welcome!

Would these be a priority if I already have a mild impingement? or a supplement to normal impingement rehab exercises?

Please prioritize these exercises :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
