Finding Exercises for Shoulder Pain can be a very difficult because you simply cannot tolerate much activity.
Don’t let that discourage you, however! You can definitely begin working on exercises and stretching which is relatively pain free to begin building strength and ultimately improving your pain.
One of my favorite shoulder pain exercises is called a progressive resistance isometric.
A long word which basically means firing the muscle without moving the joint through range of motion which is typically painful.
Building strength here typically allows us to begin building strength through range of motion.
The pain can be from a number of origins including tendonitis, tendinosis, partial muscle tears, labrum tears, and even referral pain from the neck itself.
The beauty of progressive resistance isometrics is that typically it does not make the problem worse and is relatively pain free…making the downside of the exercise very very low.

Side note…shoulder pain can be improved with Dry Needling…Click HERE to check out one of our more recent posts on how dry needling can help you especially in cases of tendonitis or tendinopathies.
These painful conditions often times require gentle strengthening in addition to manual therapies.
To make things even better, we often times will pair Bloodflow Restricition Therapy during exercise with our Dry Needling and Manual Therapy techniques. These techniques are incredibly impactful for individuals dealing with shoulder issues.
If you are unsure of what to do, you should always consult a professional medical provider and not solely rely on information garnered from the internet. The information will be helpful in you making the decision with your provider as to what is right for you.
Enjoy!
