Pilates Conditions-Shoulder Impingement

Join Sam in this 6 class programme for shoulder impingement.

The shoulder is one of the most moveable joints in the body; this also makes it one of the more vulnerable, unstable joints. We rely heavily on the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint to keep it steady and strong. An imbalance of muscle strength in this area can play a huge part in altering our alignment, which means our posture can also impact potential injury and discomfort.

These classes are designed to build strength and stability around the shoulder joint. Sam has chosen specific exercises which will help alleviate pain; she believes in doing this through functional movement to improve day-to-day living. Increasing the range of movement in this area will also help release any tension you may be holding onto, so Sam also works on this aspect.

Each class lasts approximately 30 minutes, and Sam recommends doing each class at least 3-4 times per week before moving on to the next one to maximise your results.

Ideally you will use a yoga matt fo follow this programme.

Remember to stay hydrated. Water helps fuel your muscles, so drinking before, during and after exercise will boost your energy levels, and may help to prevent cramp.
