Luxation of the shoulder joint – Step 3

Rehabilitation starts with the exercises in Step 1. When the exercises can be performed without pain, rehabilitation starts on the next step.

How often and for how long should I train? Training frequency and duration are individual. Start with about 3 repetitions per workout. exercise and at least 3 times a week. Slowly increase the number of repetitions and load without exceeding the pain threshold

Do I have to do the whole program every time? No, you can divide the exercises into different days. The most important thing is to exercise regularly and gradually increase the intensity

The time in minutes indicates the time distribution between stretching, balance and strength if you train for one hour.
Whether you train for one hour or 10 minutes, for example, is adapted to your starting point – and can be increased over time.

Condition

Unlimited: Cycling. Swimming Run.

Stretching

10 minutes of each training session

Sit on a chair with your arms stretched out behind your back and your hands clasped together. Immediately lift your arms backwards and upwards, so that you feel a gradually increasing stretch across the front of your shoulders. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Relax for 20 seconds.

Sit on a chair. Place your left hand on the right side of your head, whilst your right hand holds onto the seat. Gently pull your head to the left and hold it there with your right arm, so that you feel a gradual stretch in the right side of your neck. Move your head in different directions (forward/backwards) so that all the muscles around your neck are stretched. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds each time. Repeat the exercise on the other side.

Stand with your working arm held in front of your body. Use your free hand to press behind the elbow of your working arm so that the elbow is pushed towards the opposite shoulder, creating a gradually increasing stretch on the outside of the shoulder and upper arm. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the other side.

Strength

50 minutes of each training session

Secure an exercise band at elbow height. Stand with the working arm furthest from the band and grasp the band with the hand on the working arm. Keep your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle and held close to your body throughout the exercise. Rest your forearm and hand against your stomach. Rotate your forearm out to the side so that the resistance band is taut, and hold the position for a few seconds before slowly returning your arm to the starting position.

Secure an exercise band at elbow height. Stand with the arm you are exercising closest to the band and grasp the band with the hand on that arm. Keep your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle and held close to your body throughout the exercise. Rotate your forearm inwards in front of your stomach so that the resistance band is stretched, and hold the tension for a few seconds before slowly returning your arm to the starting position.

Attach the resistance band at floor level. Stand with your side facing the band, with the working arm furthest from the band. Hold the band in the hand of your working arm and place your other hand on your opposite hip. Swing your arm up and back with your elbow bent at approximately 90 degrees, so that your hand only reaches shoulder height. Hold the stretch for a few seconds and slowly release the tension as your hand returns to the starting position.

Stand with an exercise band in your hands. Point your thumbs upwards and keep your elbows slightly bent. Pull the band so that it tightens. Vibrate the band as you slowly raise your arms above your head and then slowly lower them again.

“Push-ups”. Lie on your stomach with your hands directly beneath your shoulders and your fingers pointing forwards. Extend your arms so that your upper body and pelvis are lifted straight up, supported only by your hands and toes. Your stomach must not touch the floor.

Stand with the resistance band under your foot. Grasp the band with the hand on your working arm. The back of your hand should be facing forwards. Slowly move your working arm backwards and upwards so that the band is taut. Hold the tension for a few seconds, then lower your arm again.

Secure the resistance band at hip height. Stand with your unaffected arm facing the resistance band. Grasp the band with the hand on your training arm and slowly move your arm out to the side until it is at shoulder height, so that the band is taut. Hold the position for a few seconds and slowly lower your arm again.
