Shoulder Injury Prevention

Dr. Scott Jacobson is an orthopedic surgeon and shoulder specialist at The Center Orthopedic & Neurosurgical Care & Research in Bend, Oregon. These simple exercises and stretches can strengthen the rotator cuff and prevent one of the most common shoulder injuries, shoulder impingement syndrome. These exercises can be done on a regular basis, or several times a week, to prevent shoulder injury. Dr. Jacobson demonstrates proper form for external rotation and internal rotation exercises. He recommends doing 15-20 reps in each direction two times to strengthen the rotator cuff. He also recommends several easy stretches to prevent shoulder impingement syndrome, doorway shoulder stretch, sleeper stretch, and across-the-chest stretch. Hold each stretch for 15-30 seconds. These exercises and stretches are a conservative option to treat shoulder impingement syndrome. Dr. Jacobson recommends stopping the activity that caused the shoulder injury and starting these exercises and stretches when you have shoulder impingement syndrome. If the problem doesn't resolve within 4-5 weeks of consistent exercise, make an appointment with an orthopedic doctor that specializes in shoulder injuries.
