Patient Case #11 Shoulder Pain with Bench Press Clinical Pearl: When a patient ONLY has shoulder pain when they do push exercises, it is almost always going to involve a rotator cuff dysfunction. Each case is very individual and each person deserves personalized treatment but I’ve found that a heavy focus on treating and training the rotator cuff and shoulder stabilizers is a great place to start with these patients Typical session: Step 1: Soft-tissue mobilization to prepare the body for exercise - Options: Dry needling, IASTM, active/passive releases, thoracic mobilizations Step 2: Activate the rotator cuff and shoulder stabilizers so they can feel what it’s like to have those muscles engaged - Options: (depends on their strength/skill level) Sidelying ER, Half-kneeling High Row to ER (in video), Banded serratus punches (in video) Step 3: Gradually incorporate pushing exercises based on their strength level and tolerance - Options: High plank isometric, incline half-pushups, floor press, Single-arm OH press, dumbbell/barbell bench press If you need a PT who treats people trying to get back to the gym like this, hit me up in the DMs! #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist #physio #physiotherapy #onlinephysiotherapy #onlinephysicaltherapy #onlinefitnesscoach #fitnesscoach #fitness #shoulderpain #shoulder #shoulderpainbenchpress #benchpress #benchpressing #benchpresstips #benchpresspain #shoulderrehab #shoulderphysicaltherapy #shoulderphysicaltherapist
