Naomi, Thank you so much for doing these videos. What would you suggest for people with shoulder issues for exercises 3 and 4 whether from the floor or a box or chair. It seems to really aggravate compromised shoulders to do the 2 exercises as the shoulders roll forward into the pinching place.

Hi Lori, Great question! First I would see if you can get into the position for #4 (crab) and rotate your hands so your fingers point back away from you to open up the shoulder space. Make sure your hands are directly under your shoulders to reduce angled pressure on the shoulder. From here think about lifting your chest to the sky while pushing your palms into the ground and rolling your shoulder back. If this works and you can do it without a pinch then just hold here and slowly work up to holding for about 30 sec. Id skip #3 until you can do this. Shoulder pain is often related to posture so I'd go practice the opening exercises in the "5 tips for better posture with PD" video I have on my channel. Also next weeks flow is for you!! There are some great shoulder openers that you may have to practice a bit to open things up before going into crab position if none of the above are working. Obviously seeing a Physio for hands on work for the shoulder pain would be a great start as well but I know thats a bit tricky at the moment. Let me know how it goes!
