Shoulder Rehab and Recovery - Self Myofascial Release

http://www.synergy-athletics.com

Train hard, recover hard. Shoulder issues often prevent athletes from performing and training up to their ability levels. Here is a massage technique to help fix these issues and keep lifters feeling good. I usually perform 1-3 minutes of self myofascial release on each shoulder.

jhashey, I have a rotor cuff injury a few months now. I workout 4-6 days per week & use rehab protocols from the internet. Should I stop weight training until the joint is completely rehabilitated. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (aaronaffan@yahoo.com)

[jhashey]

@aaronanthony100 what was the injury? Is it preventing you from lifting in any certain manner?

[gorba4ov]

would this help for joints or only muscles?

[jhashey]

@gorba4ov Soft tissue works the muscle, but with higher tissue quality there will be improved range of motion on the joints.

I have three kinds of balls - baseballs, tennis balls, and orange hollow hockey balls. Which of these would be the best one to use for this?

[jhashey]

@echoshadowlight I'd recommend starting with tennis ball then moving up to the street hockey ball.

hi jst want to ask a few question, i have a hardtime stretching my left shoulder. it feels like the front side of my shoulder is stuck up.. and it causes inbalance when im doing bench press and other excercises for chest workouts. pls help me.. im sory for my english.

@jhashey I injured the rotor doing db pullover and hyperextending 4myhs ago. Never fully healed as I train 6 times per week and go heavy. I normally have pain after bench pressing and overhead pressing. I am interested in strongman training and powerlifting but I'm scared that this injury will be long term.

@jhashey I did some db pullovers & hyperextended (approx 4 to 6 mths ago). I'm interested in powerlifting and strongman training. Everytime I benchpress & shoulder press I feel discomfort in the left rotor. I also got tennis elbows (left)that act up sometimes but heavy gripper training helped and really fast. I am scared that I would have a lifelong problem and can't pursue strength training. Please note that the pain isn't that bad due to rehab with bands before during and after all workouts.
