DieselCrew.com - Shoulder Rehab - Face Pulls

I think the doc is basing that suggesting on the assumption that no matter what I do the pressure from the winging scapular and inflammation from 47 year old tendons is going to remain.

Great! I have a couple of complications: Scoliosis near the top and winged scapula on that side. This may make it impossible to increase the acromial space on that side. Have you heard of anything I can do for that? One doc, because of that, my age and high level of activity suggest shaving surgery. Any special exercises or sources would be appreciated. Kind Regards, Dave

Wondering if the scapula retraction makes this and other pulls safer for people with Rotator Cuff issues? I have a thin spot in mine. I practice retraction/ protraction 4-5 days a week. Thanks.

Yes, retracting first increases the sub-acromial space, making it optimal

Which grip is better to use for this exercise? palms upward or downard? And how would you keep your balance doing this if you're standing?

The bike one feels so much better than the regular one. I'll have to try with pulling the scapula back first aswell. Which one do you prefer?

The bikes feel great and yes, definitely start the movement with a retraction.

Like this one too Smitty, thanks.
