Hello Rachel hun! I couldn’t get to this yesterday, a lot of family things coincided yesterday, however did it just now and I have a small issue from doing prior intense workouts so this felt GREAT! Many thanks ❤ off to today’s live, which I try every week to make it live, but I can’t so I’m doing it now much ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Did enjoy this! Will use in my classes! Thank you!

[@warrentodosichuk4866]

I'm glad I found your video series and I am adding your sessions to my weekly Pilates rotations. I am working on repairing my right shoulder right now and was pleased to find this particular video and added it to the routine the physical therapist gave me two weeks ago. I see the similarities in some movements and am glad to have some new ideas to implement as well. You are great at describing what we should be feeling and encouraging movement within personal ranges. Thank you!

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

You are so welcome! I am really pleased to hear you are finding this video helpful to rehab your shoulder. Wishing you a great recovery, Rachel 😊

Hello Rachael What a great workout . It did magic to my arm because I used to have a lot more pain but pilate helped. Thanks Rachael I love doing it, even whenit it was painful.

[@ChristineR1961]

Unbelievable this popped up Rachel as been suffering a long time with this. Had steroid injection previously but would like to know what exercise is best. Many thanks 😊

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Let me know how you get on. Sorry to hear you've had pain for so long. Take it gently. Much love, Rachel ❤️

[@irish66]

oh dear, i was doing some of your pilate exercises which required reaching arms above the head. I guess I should avoid doing that part of the exercise the next time. As for this rotar cuff exercise, i avoided the floor part because of arthritis in back, so for now at least i will stick to the standing up part. I am not getting treatment at the moment. But i did years ago, I have this problem with right shoulder, a combination of rotar cuff, oesteoarthritis, and a possible third problem for over 10 years. When i was getting psyio, it was indeed with bands. I should say i am not in pain every day. Update. Well i guess i might be able do the lying down where you are on your back.

Thanks

[@irish66]

Hi. 64 year old year male here. Arthritis in back, hiips, shoulder, and maybe other places too. ☺. But in right shoulder limitted movement because of combination of rotary cuff injury, athritis, and i think i was told somethng else. I have just tried out your standing pilates for seniors. I found a lot of it pretty difficult to do because of the shoulder problem. My question is, in exercises where it is required to say raise both arms above the head at the same time, should i keep both at same level or reach both as high as it is comfortable although the uninjured one would obviously be higher than the other.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Hi there, in answer to your question, if working both arms at the same time, I would raise them both to the height that’s comfortable on the injured arm and no higher. If you’re working them one at a time then it’s fine to work to the range and comfort of the particular arm you’re using. Hope that helps. 😊 With the seniors standing work, keep persevering it’s gets easier with regular practice. Just do what you can and keep doing it until it feels more achievable, you will progress so keep it up 👍

[@irish66]

@@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat -Thank you.I think i will do the exercise on this page, and the standing pilates for athritis. Sometime after doing the standing pilates for seniors, i got pains in various parts of the upper body. Although obviously I can't prove the exercises had anything to do with it. But at the moment anyhow i feel more comfortable doing the other two. .But i will check out your other videos too.

[@vivianstacey8016]

Hi Rachel. Thank you for this video. My rotator cuff injury is better at the moment. Do you suggest doing these exercises as a prevention for recurrence as well as a cure? Many thanks. Vivian x

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Hi Vivian, yes indeed I would recommend this session for prevention as well as rehabilitation, especially if you are prone to shoulder issues or have previously had an injury. Keeping the shoulder muscles functional, mobile and strong will really help you stay clear of future injury ❤️
