hi, i am 26 active male. I have been to 2 PT in the last month with regards to an injury I believe has contributed to my shoulder pain (spiking a volleyball without full transfer of force to the ball). I would like your feedback as to what may be the cause.
I have pain in mid range while doing a cuban rotation (60-80 degrees), as well when the exact movement is performed while i position my wrist in front of my face in about the same range. Pain carries over to handstand pushups and pushups.
hey Paul , thanx for the gr8 explanation and clarification !! could you also explain the role of push-ups , uneven push-ups to restore the scapular mobility, they have helped my shoulder problem a lot but i have also noticed that probably the way i have been doing this (instinctively or cos of the state of impingement injury due to strained rhomboids & mid/lower traps as it happened to me)...is only addressing the retraction of the scapula
(is it the downward rotation??) but not so much the protraction (upward rotation??)...culd you also help by providing progressive bodyweight drills or otherwise to help solve it esp addressing the spinal alignment in the upper/mid back region in mind??...am also getting back to doing forward rolling to address the protraction thing...
this is a 9 yr old problem....which got delayed due to various incompetent therapists and doctors here never helped healing the real cause...i have improved by 200% since a year and half by taking matters into my own hand and using various resources available on the net and my own understanding of them....but i have still a long way to go, i may have just cured 40% (will come to know more) but in 9 years i am feeling the best now...thanx for the reply anyway!!
I am not a specialist, so I don't have Paul's expertise on this, but I can recommend Rolfing and other deep tissue release techniques. They are expensive so research them. Also you can get a foam roller or a ball and try to releases those areas.
Most doctors don't help unfortunately. I wish I could help you more.
hey sure thanx for the reply!! in fact my real recovery started some one and a half year back when i got to understand trigger points and thats how i got started with deep tissue massaging with indigenous techniques practiced here in India (called ayurveda)..thats when i saw some light at the end of the tunnel...and from then on i purchased a PVC pipe to self massage and got back to strengthening...so much so am getting back to doing supported handstands within a year...
so u can guess how these simple techniques like deep tissue stuff and foam rolling are so effective!! ....thanx a lot again !! byw ur channel videos kick ass!
@Bodyweightculture Hi mate, firstly that was an incredibly refreshing and interesting video- thank you very much. It's good to see someone who can see beyond the preconceived notions. I would trust you over any physio around this way for sure! You have made me realize what has caused my shoulder instability and subluxations. I indeed always refrain from releasing the scapulae.
I now have pain when in the hands behind head position or when holding the bar in a squat. What should I do?
Thanks for the video, man. Very informative.

sidhyarth,
We just put up some of Paul Zaichik's videos. You should visit a therapist in your area, who will be able to test you and help you.
