10 Feb Yoga For Shoulder A Injury
In most cases, people seek out yoga due to the plethora of benefits that the activity offers. Typically, yoga is associated with protection and prevention from injury, and with an injured shoulder, you may feel like you can not practice yoga anymore. Fortunately, with Zoe~nergy yoga at Lake Country Physical Therapy and Sportscare, PC in Canandaigua NY, you can continue to practice yoga even if you are experiencing some form of pain or discomfort in your shoulder.
Things To Remember:
When practicing yoga with a shoulder injury, be sure always to do some of the following:
- Always warm-up before any physical activity.
- Properly align your shoulders before getting into any pose that may put pressure on your shoulders.
- Always be cautious that you are working with your shoulder to heal it, while also protecting your joints.
- Keep your torso wide during poses by widening your shoulders.
Always remember not to push your body past its limits. This could, potentially, result in an injury of a much longer-term. Make sure you always provide your body with enough rest to recover. If you have any questions about your injury, be sure to consult your doctor, or your physical therapist at Lake Country Physical Therapy and Sportscare, PC in Canandaigua NY.
