I need impingement surgery on both sides. Usually for two or three days after training, I experience pain lifting my arms above my head. Even getting a glass out of an overhead cabinet is painful.
Out of the blue, I decided to stretch my shoulders in a way I don't normally do.
1. I took my right hand and placed it on my left shoulder (it bearly reaches).
2. I took the back of my left hand and placed it on my right elbow.
3. I used the back of my left hand to push my right arm as far left as I could get it - simultaneously, I used the fingers of my right hand to pull the same arm as far left as I could.
After a nice stretch doing this for both shoulders, I can raise my hands over-head with NO pain. This is amazing! What did I just do? And what might this tell me about my shoulder injuries?
Thanks in advance...
