If you have a rotator cuff injury or any injury for that matter
at the time you’re also feeling like you’re constantly faced with
figuring out your changing body’s needs, this is for you. We unpack
the unknowing and waiting. What can you do when mobility or ability
is limited? How do you create a plan?
We discussed blood flow restriction bands, water exercise and
options to keep you in alignment. With any injury it’s common and a
risk to begin compensating for the injury. There is always
something that you can do. When it’s not exercise or movement, it
can be a focus on nutrition.

Questions We Answer in This Episode:
How did you sustain your injury?
What were your symptoms?
Do you know which rotator cuff you have
injured?
What have you been doing to recover from
this?
How can you make sure you don’t lose muscle mass
and reduce bone density losses?

you?
Come up with a plan for now, for next, and find a way to feel
better about the future. If you’ve got an injury and it’s been
diagnosed, keep asking questions of your diagnosing physician. Ask
for guidelines, limitations, criteria for doing more or doing less.
Ask for time with a physical therapist if appropriate.
