Do you get shoulder pain at the gym?
💡 The team at PhysioHub Wiley Park have put together a few tips on how you can modify the exercises that stir up your shoulder pain, so that you can keep training and prevent further aggravation of your pain.
➡️ Bench press: try floor pressing – this limits the movement of your elbow back behind the line of your shoulder, which can put a lot of load through the front of your shoulder. Start with dumb bells, and progress to the barbell.
➡️ Overhead press: swap with a landmine press or bottoms-up kettle bell press. Both these exercises will help you to avoid overloading your shoulder at the overhead position and work both your rotator cuff and shoulder stability muscles.
➡️ Push movements: swap these to more pulling movements. This includes both pull downs and rowing variations.
➡️ Pace: slow down the pace of your exercise routine. Focus on isometric or low velocity exercises for the shoulder and upper back. Once your pain has settled you can re-introduce high speed exercises.
✅ Our main goal is to help you stay at the gym!
☎️ DM, book online or call us on 9740 5454, we’d love to help you rehabilitate your shoulder to keep you injury and pain free.
