Exercises For InjuriesThe Fitness Professionals Source for Exercises and Injuries.

With this blog thing, I get a lot of email.

It is great.

I hear from fitness professionals from around the world.

I just got this one on referral sources for post injury personal training clients.

Thought I would pop you a message.

I would love to pick your brain on the topic of referrals from chiropractors and physical therapists to myself and my employees.

We are working together to put together a more clearly defined avenue for clients to transition from acute care at the chiropractor or physical therapist to a more aggressive strength and conditioning program.

Right now the medical network I am with is looking to have the hand-off be a little smoother.

Right now they are just handing cards/pamphlets out and are finding it frustrating that they end up seeing the client again because they didn’t do anything to correct the initial reason for the visit.

Do you have anything standardized in place, or is it just a time thing and people know who you are now and its automatic?

I look forward to chatting with you more on this topic.

Thanks for your time Rick.

A common injury with the shoulder is shoulder impingement.  Rotator cuff exercises are important on helping your client recover from shoulder impingement.

What is Shoulder Impingement?

When the non-injured arm is at your side, there is about 6 to 14 mm of space in the subacromial space (the space between acromion and humerus).  As one moves their arm out to the side (abduction), the space in the subacromial space decreases.  With some people the humerus and acromion end up pinching the structures in the subacromial space.  The structures that could be pinching are the bursa, supraspinatus tendon or long head of the biceps tendon.  This pinching is called shoulder impingement.  Shoulder impingement is a big problem and commonly seen in my clients.  If shoulder impingement is not addressed it could lead to a partial or full tear of the rotator cuff.
