I saw some other videos claiming to help with Pickleball shoulder injuries, but they didn't even work the rotator cuff. This video is correct and I like that he uses stuff around the house for the exercises.
After a rotator cuff tear I did these exercises with a soup can. Now that I am all repaired, I really wanted to strengthen a lot more. I bought a set of rubber resistance bands with different tensions.. I screwed a hook into the back wall of my closet into a wall beam at waist height. Now I do the same rotations as depicted here but with a lot more tension and do 25 repetitions which means not too much pressure, but a lot more than a soup can. The key is good form as depicted in this video.
Excellent....shows how much we can do to help our bodies without needing a lot of props/equipment, etc. Like your approach. You seem to be answering the questions that most players have. Thanks. New subscriber here.
Lefty, This is a good video but you might try.. Stand w/back to the wall, take a can (different size for different folks) Do the same exercise with arm at right angle. Go to left, go center, go right..Add a bicep curl in as you like. You might also consider a "bungee cord" as it will give light resistance. The strain/damage is likely at the, Pectoral Minor or Subscapularis muscle. Both are below the Deltoid n Pectoralis Major Which rarely get the damage you/we talk about in Pickleball. Even in elderly people those muscles are pretty strong. I'm not a doctor either i only study this stuff n am NOT qualified to make diagnosis... Do NOT continue workout or training if you feel acute pain..
in the last exercise, to begin that excercise while bent at the hips 90 degree, and dangle the arm with a light weight and do circles...while bent, brace yourself using a table and having the non exercise arm do the bracing...this will also help to strengthen back muscles that also stabilize the shoulder...
Really great stuff Tony!! On a (sort of) related topic, would fast, tubing/band resistance exercises across your body, also be good to strengthen the muscles needed to quickly move a paddle from one side to another? Any other ideas to help those of us over 60 to increase our paddle reaction time?(oh, and can you block anyone under 60 from seeing them! ;-) )
Do you do one set of 10-15 reps, or are you doing 3 sets of 10-15 reps? I just want to clarify and not overdo it. Thanks so much for the exercises. I enjoyed your time on CJ Johnson's stream last week as well.
