Thank you Mhairi.......I've used that theraband 'image' and feedback with several clients over the years and in particular one of my teachers at my studio (who is trying not to have surgery for a shoulder 'issue'). When she showed it to her PT, he asked her, 'where did you learn that one'? ... she said, "Amy"....he responded, "hmmm, pretty good idea". It's nice to have the approval! :)
This is nice. I have been doing this since a couple of years mostly without weights ... always surprising how much work this is for clients. Definitely worth for everyone to try ! Thank you.
Hi Amy, I love this tutorial and the other few shoulder tutorials that PA has done. My clients sometimes complain of discomfort along the inside of the elbow down to the fingers when the arms are extended to the sides of the body. Have you experienced this and do you think it is something that would get better over time?
Thank you Sarah. Yes, I've experienced that myself and it has gotten much better with Pilates! Without seeing you or your clients it would be hard to tell what's really going on, but I remember noticing the relief in the arm once my chest muscles started stretching, my deltoids too and gaining better awareness in my neck alignment. I do think it will get better over time, yes, and if not, seeking a qualified professional to do a diagnosis would be a good idea.
