Is your PT because of injury or surgery? Part of my current work is rehabbing people from surgery and injury. After PT many come see me to continue their rehab since PT only usually covers just recovery and not continual improvement. Keep posting and I'll see what I can do to help.ElizabethKalmbach wrote: »Happy Friday!

I have hypermobility syndrome, so initially, I was going to PT for repeated subluxation of my left shoulder when I was doing completely inane stuff like reaching for my phone or taking off a sweatshirt or backpack. Somehow, while rehabbing that (with reasonable success) I developed/started to display symptoms of TOS, which I brought up with my shoulder specialist. He confirmed that my pulse at the wrist drops (arterial and neurogenic TOS) when my arm is in certain positions and we are now working on balancing my shoulder strength and pectoral flexibility in addition to fixing up the muscles I need to keep my arms properly in their sockets.
I had the flu two weeks ago, and the coughing made the arterial problem a LOT worse, and my arms started losing circulation when I was sleeping in addition to when I was sitting at my desk at work. I've added chiropractor visits to resolve the immediate problem and continue with the PT to resolve the long term muscular/postural issues. PT has me off push movements until June, but previous to all of these issues, I'd been doing SL 5x5 and was transitioning into Strong Curves to deal with some quad dominance.
With recent developments with the TOS, I'm kind of up in the air about what workout plan I want to do as anything I pick will end up being modified to incorporate PT. I was toying with the idea of doing some kettlebell work, but other than walking and rowing I'm still reading up on options and would be somewhat relieved to receive suggestions. I have access to a variety of University gyms and a relatively decent collection of equipment at home.

Today is largely a rest day with a side of meal prepping.
Cardio: It's gorgeous outside so I took the dogs out for 2.25 mile walks in the morning and again in the evening - second walk was largely because the kiddo wanted to take her kick bike out for a spin, since the ice on the sidewalks has melted. Only about 15k steps, despite the Costco run.
Strength: Just the shoulder PT for subluxation.- internal shoulder rotation with fitness band 20x3
- external shoulder rotation with fitness band 20x3
- shoulder flexion to sit up with kettlebell 10x3
Assessment: I'm chuffed as heck that the center line in my abs is developing after 10 years of absence, since my daughter was born. Looks like my betaine HCL regimen for better protein uptake/digestion is WORKING. Also, I lost all the weight I was holding onto from the flu inflammation and dropped the extra pound that I was intending to lose with my deficit set to 250 calories/day. I'm mildly surprised by the EXACTLY ONE POUND I lost, since my calories and activity level fluctuated all over the place the week I had a fever, and I *thought* I was eating maintenance calories. Running a fever for a couple days is a calorie burn no one enjoys, but it's still a burn.0 -
If you can, incorporate rear delt work (very moderate of course) to see if it affects your shoulder. Sometimes strengthening one side of the delt (posterior) helps with the recovery of the area overall.ElizabethKalmbach wrote: »Is your PT because of injury or surgery?

Yesterday was insane and full of emergency meetings about emergency protocols. My normal work out times were over-written by meetings and more meetings. My chiropractor also called in sick and I had to reschedule for an earlier appointment with a different chiro, and that meant I had to take the bus home from work instead of walking.
Wednesday Cardio: 1.5 mile dog walk in the morning and 2 mile intermittent run after work.
Strength: None
Assessment: I RAN FOR AN ENTIRE 12 MINUTE MILE AND NOTHING HURT SO BAD I HAD TO STOP. NO SHIN SPLINTS OR STITCHES IN MY SIDE. It was AMAZING. I'm still cross about the lack of free time for strength training, yesterday, but I have NEVER run that smoothly for that long IN MY LIFE.0 -
