Between Parkinsons and my frozen shoulder this was impossible to reach back :(

Thanks for your comment Mark, reaching back to YOUR full range is a great start! If you can't reach back all the way go as far as you can within a pain-free range, even just rotating the trunk without the arm movement is a great exercise as well. Frozen shoulder is a common issue with PD both prior to diagnosis and after. I know it can be frustrating as it limits certain movements but there are definitely lots of adjustments you can make including working within your pain-free range to slowly increase range of motion at the shoulder joint. Seeing a physio 1:1 is a great way to get treatment for frozen shoulder so hopefully you are doing that in addition to working on Parkinson's specific exercises. Thanks for tuning in and commenting, there are move videos coming!
