In the meanwhile, I'm trying to drive the car once in a while to build up my rotator cuff. At the moment, I can ride much farther than I dare to drive. Or I could have a week ago . . . Isn't there some sort of recovery exercises or stretches for rotator cuff rehabilitation? Years ago I had what was referred to as a "frozen shoulder" and had to go to the clinic every morning at about 08:00 where a nice young Siri Lankan girl would move my shoulder further and further every day. And when I'd scream she'd say something like "You can tell its doing good when it hurts" :-) I had painful shoulder problems many years ago, and they recurred this year, badly enough to keep me awake at night. Both times they responded very well to simple exercises. This time, I'm continuing the exercises (almost) every evening for maintenance. I'm stretching a Theraband looped over a doorknob. With my elbow bent 90 degrees and held against my hip, I do ten internal 180 degree rotations of my forearm (i.e. rotating my forearm from straight out until it contacts my belt) and ten external rotations (the opposite motion). Then ten 90 degree abductions of my straight arm, from hanging vertical to straight out. (I think I have the terms right.) For me, anyway, these work very well. -- - Frank Krygowski |
