The Most Effective Rotator Cuff Exercise Program

DESCRIPTION for Rotator Cuff Conditioning Exercises:

After the back, the second most common injury a fitness professional will encounter is the shoulder.  Most times shoulder injuries directly and indirectly involve the rotator cuff.  When fitness professionals hear that their client has a rotator cuff issue, they end up focusing on strengthening.  Strengthening is important for your rotator cuff client but it is only one part of an effective rotator cuff conditioning program.  The fitness professional must address all five areas of a rotator cuff conditioning program in order to fully rehabilitate the rotator cuff.  If not, they will only band-aide the injury and not fully help their client overcome their rotator cuff injury.  In this webinar, fitness professional will learn how to avoid common rotator cuff exercise mistakes, the 5 components of a rotator cuff condition program and exercises to help their client’s rotator cuff injury.

Exercise Rehabilitation of the Rotator Cuff Webinar

I am doing a webinar on exercise and the rotator cuff.

I have teamed up with the Canadian Kinesiology Alliance (CKA). The CKA is the national association for Kinesiologists in Canada.

They have asked me to do a webinar on my masters project on therapeutic exercises for the rotator cuff. My masters project appeared in the Canadian Journal of Kinesiology in the fall of 2008.

It will be great to do a webinar where I can go into a lot more detail when it comes to rotator cuff exercises for injury recovery. The journal article is nice to write but during my research, I came across so much more that could not get into the article. It will be great to share this information on the webinar.

Exercise Rehabilitation of the Rotator Cuff

Webinar description:

The rotator cuff muscles are the most frequently injured muscle in the
shoulder. The most common exercise given to strength the rotator cuff is
standing external rotation, yet this exercise is not effective in targeting
all of the rotator cuff muscles. If you prescribe this exercise to strengthen
the rotator cuff muscles, then you need to attend this researched based
exercise webinar. You will learn the most effective exercises that target all
of the rotator cuff muscles and a progressive rotator cuff program to fully
rehabilitate your client’s rotator cuff injuries.

What will be covered on the webinar:

- Which rotator cuff exercises are a waste of time
- Which rotator cuff exercises cause more damage than good
- The key structures of the rotator cuff
- Assessing the rotator cuff to determine exercise readiness and progressions
- The most effective exercises that target all of the rotator cuff muscles
- A progress rotator cuff program to fully rehabilitate your client’s rotator
cuff injuries

It May be All in Your Genes

Friday, February 27, 2009 – Anthony J. Brown, MD – Reuters UK

People may inherit a genetic predisposition to rotator cuff injury, according to a study presented Thursday at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons meeting in Las Vegas, which found that rotator cuff injury seems to run in families.

Heredity is likely to “play a strong role in determining whether people are at risk for the development of a rotator cuff tear,” study chief Dr. Robert Zaray Tashijian, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, told Reuters Health. “Consequently, individuals may use this information in implementing a preventative program.”

According to Tashijian, only one previous study looked at the heredity component of rotator cuff problems. That study, however, only looked at first degree relatives (such as mothers, sisters or brothers) and thus the findings may have been confounded by environmental factors.

“In order to strongly suggest a genetic predisposition, you need to show an increased relative risk out to third degree relatives,” he explained. “We have actually determined an increased risk out to third cousins — well beyond third degree relatives.”
