Coach Eric Wong strikes again with his shoulder flexibility program. After trying his huge success “Ultimate MMA Strength and Conditioning Program”, it’s time to try his shoulder flexibility solution.

Why did I pick this program to improve my shoulder flexibility? To make this clear and simple, I had a big shoulder injury in 2012 while practicing judo. I could not rotate my arm in all the normal positions. I was searching for a program that was made for MMA athletes to strengthen my shoulders and I saw on Eric Wong’s blog “the shoulder flexibility solution”.

There is other reasons why someone would have tight shoulders. A lot of people that work in front of a computer adopt a posture that create discomfort which is a very bad habit and can create shoulder pain. It can also be a lack of movements that create the tightness in the shoulder. For the athletes, it can be caused by overuse of a muscle relating to your sport. Your level of stress and your sleeping position can play a part in the fact that you have tight shoulders.

There is tons of resources that you can find online but for now, we will be checking out the Shoulder flexibility solution.

Static Stretching Problems

Static stretching is not a lasting solution. You will not keep the gains you make. The tightness will always return. This type of stretching won’t improve your dynamic movement, it can actually hurt them. If you over perform a static stretch you can actually stretch your ligaments(that’s not good) ;).

The Shoulder flexibility solution program really show you how to release the tightness.

Overcome Shoulder Injury

When the shoulder is injured, it is difficult to do daily activities but you have to be patient with your recovery. You should return to your sport slowly and when you do, warm-up well. An injury to a part of your body affects how your body moves.

Release your tight shoulders without static stretching

If all you’re doing is static stretching, you may improve range of motion in that stretch, but you are not improving your range of motion for dynamic movements. To improve range of motion for dynamic movements, you have to loosen tight muscles, improve your coordination, improve your strength and reprogram your neuromuscular system to use the new range of motion you achieve. The lack of strength and coordination can result in ligament injuries and muscle tears because these elements stabilize your joints at the end ranges of motion. If you over-perform a static stretch, you can actually get into stretching things you don’t want to stretch, such as ligaments. The result is an unstable joint and damage to muscles, ligaments, meniscus, bursa and other tissues.

Shoulder Pain? Treat the causes, not the symptoms!

Do not ignore the pain. The way you train might cause excess stress on certain muscles and can damage other tissues like ligaments or the joint capsules. You need to release the tightness in your shoulder if you do exercises like push ups, chin ups, bench press or even back squats. Rounded shoulders, forward head, or being unable to touch your hands behind your back, are signs of lack of flexibility in your shoulders.

If you hurt your shoulder and pain in your shoulder is due to inflammation, applying ice is generally a good idea (10 minutes ON, 10 minutes OFF). If a movement hurts, you have to stop. If you practice a sport, a shoulder injury is not a reason to stop training, you can work on other aspects of your game. There is always something you can do, beside worrying about what you can’t do.

Should I use Ice or Heat?

Use Ice:

  • When the shoulder injury is acute, or sudden, to help relieve and prevent swelling.
  • After a tough exercise to relieve muscle soreness and shorten recovery time
  • To recover from shoulder surgery by reducing swelling around the incisions

Do not use Ice:

  • To relieve shoulder stiffness
  • Before you exercise because it will hide the pain
  • If you have high blood pressure or If you have problems with circulation
  • On open wounds
  • On areas treated with anesthesia
  • On chronic shoulder injuries

Use Heat:

  • After the swelling has gone down from the initial injury, use heat to trigger the healing response
  • To help with shoulder stiffness
  • If you have a chronic or reoccurring shoulder injury, for pain relief

Do not use Heat:

  • On a new or acute shoulder injury
  • On any injury that is swollen or inflamed
