Exercising a Shoulder With Bursitis
The condition of shoulder bursitis always involve pain. It is often related to shoulder tendonitis which manifests similar symptoms. Shoulder bursitis is also called impingement syndrome as it also impinge the rotator cuff muscles resulting to its inflammation.I’m going to focus on bursitis in this article but many of the same ideas can be applied if you have frozen shoulder or a similar condition.
The bursa and the inserted tendons in the shoulder joint may be compressed that cause shoulder bursitis. Painful shoulder may result once there is a thickening of the tendons and bursa on the shoulder.
The initial reaction would be inflammatory response that may be caused by injury to the bursa and tendons. The affected structures then thicken that impinges the tissues eliciting the symptoms of pain. The pain occurs with intense pain at night and overhead movement of the shoulder can further increase the pain.
Shoulder rehabilitation helps in relieving the symptoms of shoulder bursitis. The following exercises will help strengthen and rehabilitate the shoulder after the pain subsides:
You can gently lean your back to the wall and the slowly squeeze your shoulder blade backward to the wall. For 5 seconds hold the position in place. Wand exercise may also be performed. To flex your shoulder, you can stand upright holding a stick in both hands with palms down. Lift your hand over your head while maintaining a straight elbow. Hold the position for 5 seconds and you can repeat the same procedure for 10 times. To perform the extension shoulder wand exercise, assume the same initial position then bring the arms backward.
You can lean on the back from the wall then shrug the shoulder, holding it for 5 seconds. For 5 seconds hold the shoulder blades in a position as if you are squeezing them together. Next you pull down the shoulder in a way like you are reaching down for your pocket.
These exercises are useful in the management of a painful shoulder with bursitis. Shoulder exercise is a part of the shoulder treatment protocol that can help strengthen the shoulder joint’s surrounding tissues, maintain the shoulder joint mobility and prevent further pain and limited range of motion of the shoulder due to bursitis.
