Morning Shoulder Flossing

Why not adding a morning shoulder flossing? dealing with upper-body discomfort and limitations like sore shoulders and stiff necks. Frozen shoulder syndrome (FSS), or adhesive capsulitis, is a disorder in which inflammation and scar tissue surrounding the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint and a lack of synovial fluid restrict the ability of the humerus to move in the socket, causing varying degrees of immobilization and pain.


The combination of shoulder immobility and pain makes some of the actions of daily life, difficult or even impossible at certain stages of recovery, which is often slow. To prevent injurious shoulder compression, it’s important to align the shoulders and the neck before asking the hands and arms to bear weight. The optimally aligned shoulder girdle minimizes the chance that the compression or pinch of the bursae or tendons will occur, and allows the rotator cuff muscles to function as they should.


These daily movements recommend to speed healing of frozen shoulder can be practiced gently. These exercises, which aim to reduce the rounding of the upper back, and encourage the shoulders to move freely and symmetrically, make good preventive exercises as well.


You will need a strap or belt.


To keep the back of your neck long, imagine that string pulling you up by the crown of the head. Hold the upward reach for a few breaths. Lift and lower the strap ten times, gradually lifting the strap higher and higher. Stretch to the side and back. If it is difficult to keep your arms straight, move your hands farther apart on the strap. If it is easy, move your hands a bit closer together.
