The physical therapy team at The Stone Clinic in San Francisco is an integral part of our practice. www.stoneclinic.com/rehab On this channel you'll find some exercises to help you recover from an injury or to build your strength and fitness. Please only perform these exercises if you have been advised to do so by your personal trainer or PT.
A great physical therapist can help you figure out why you got injured, teach you exercises and techniques to reduce pain and help you recover from your injury, as well as guide and motivate you to safely improve your strength and mobility. A physical therapist will also teach you about the mechanics of your gait and of your sport, valuable information to help speed your recovery and protect you from further injury.
You are the first therapist to explain WHY a towel is necessary, Had I known that it increases or maximizes blood flow to the shoulder, I would have not neglected to use it. I will be using it from now on. Thank you for posting this video.
very good demonstration but I would have liked the model in lighter tights. With the dark background and the sea of black legs it was a little hard to see.
Which traps do the I’s work? I know the Y’s work the lower traps and the T’s get the mid traps, but I would think that there are better exercises for upper traps. I’s don’t work the upper traps, do they?
She says muscle surrounding the scapula. That does not necessarily mean the traps. The traps are one of a more than 12 muscles that aide in controlling the scapula.
Trying to work on this as a stroke recoverist. Focal dystonia of left foot makes exercises such as this almost feel impossible. Constant spasticity leaves a crampy, contracture feeling all the time. I'm worried because my big toe is turning inwards towards the others, so I'm worried about misalignment and deformity.
THIS SQUEEZING OF THE SHOULDER BLADES can be a problematic instruction. It is often misunderstand and can produce more harm than good...but that being said, this was well explained and demonstrated. Thank you.
Could you show these stretches for very very very flexible people. For instance when I do the straight leg stretch I can bring my knee down to my chest. I DO NOT FEEL ANY STRETCH. I'm 73 year old.
