Good shoulder health is often overlooked until it becomes an issue in our day to day lives. Here are a few recommendations to improve or maintain good shoulder function.

With that being said, the best recommendation we can make is to seek personal professional help if you are experiencing any shoulder pain or discomfort.

-Exercise:
Will strengthen and thus provide structural support via tissue for everyday activities. Start light and set a reasonable timeline to reach your goals. Include varying exercises to ensure all motions and actions are covered.
EX: Rows, Chest Press, any variation of a pull down, Lateral arm raises

-Taking time to stretch:
Whether you prefer to do it directly with or without your workout, the key to functionality along side strengthening is being able to work through a reasonable range of motion.
EX: This may look like a simple cuff stretch, using straps for internal rotation or abduction of your arm.

Meet the newest member of our team!

Rylan started working for AOPT in December as an Aide and has aspiring goals working for the clinic. Be sure to say hi if you stop on by.

Growing up 15 miles outside of Tracktown, USA (Eugene, OR), Rylan has always had a passion for running—a passion that he strives to instill in others. He competed in both track and field and cross country at George Fox University—where he also received his degree in Biology—and currently coaches both at Yamhill-Carlton High School. Outside of the clinic, you may see Rylan at church, running through Newberg, hiking on local trails, or spending far too much money at Critter Cabana to spoil his pet lizards.

A good warm up will allow for an efficient and effective work. On top of this, it will reduce your risk of injury from exertion.

A good warm up can very on contents but they all share a couple of components. Consisting of a light activity to elevate your heart rate, and a series of stretches (preferably dynamic), will cover all the bases you need to get started on your workout.

For patients who participate in gym routines, we like to warm up with the combination of the Nu Step for 10-15 min, followed by a series of dynamic stretches.

Working out can seem like a daunting task. However, with a few key pointers and a plan, building habits can become an approachable goal:

- Remember to start small and build up to your goal
ex: if your goal is to walk 30 mins /day or week, start with 2-5 mins a day/week

- Keeping true to your body's response as you progress
- Progress once you feel the current activity level becomes relatively easy. Listen to your body.

- Record your progress and track your activity
-Keeping a log book will allow you to see your progress and stay motivated

- Get involved with a small group or team
- Meeting with friends in a club or just a small group will encourage continued attendance and make your workouts that much more fun
