Cross post from ETI: Hyper-mobile shoulders pt. 5

Forgot to post about the previous consultation. I saw the physiotherapist on the 24th last month.

My 90 degree bent over rows were still at 0kg and this worried my therapist. He gave me a new exercise, and revised my routine to focus on my weaknesses.

90 degree band rotation - Red band (8-12 reps)
Side lying external rotation - 1.5kg (15-20 reps)
Bent over row (90 degrees) - 1kg, now at 1.5kg (10 reps)
Bent over row (45 degrees) - 2kg, now at 2.5kg (10 reps)
Bent over row (0 degrees) - 3kg, now at 4kg (10 reps)
Mini flys - 1.5kg (15-20 reps)
Shrug - 4kg (15-20 reps)

The therapist asked me to raise my arms out to my side until my hands are overhead. He can see that my scapula is now controlling my shoulders a lot better, except for when my arms are overhead. The 90 degree band rotation is expected to improve this. I find that exercise very difficult myself.

Next appointment on 17/2.
