Shoulder pain can be a real drag as it can make it hard to put clothing on or even get a good night's sleep.
Here is why you should watch this video: I am going to show a quick and effective exercise which targets an often forgotten area when it comes to recovering from shoulder pain.
With the chillier weather, along with the rugby and soccer seasons starting up again, those arthritic joints start playing up too. Research has shown that running or walking backwards can help. It reduces the amount of pressure your knee cap places on your knee joint, therefore decreasing arthritic pain. The reduced load on the lower body from running/walking backwards is great for those who have arthritis and especially for adolescents due to their hormonal changes and increased growth.
It takes less backwards compared to forwards running to create changes in the muscle tissue, so it is more efficient. It also creates less muscle damage and inflammation.
If you would like to know how to incorporate it into your training schedule, please refer to point 4 in the graphic.
Just make sure to watch out for trees and other people!
