00:02 - 00:06This is Brent, President of B2C Fitness and we're working on self-administered,
00:06 - 00:11static release, in this case of the posterior shoulder which has a tendency to
00:11 - 00:15get tight in those individuals with upper body dysfunction. With Mike here it has a
00:15 - 00:22separate effect, which is not so good for his sport. Mike is a baseball pitcher and the
00:22 - 00:27lack of ability to internally rotate, of course these muscles being affected and
00:27 - 00:31not being able to eccentrically deccelerate internal rotation as he throws, can have
00:31 - 00:36a huge effect on his performance, his longevity, and of course, increase his risk
00:36 - 00:40for injuries. We want to take care of this problem. Mike is in this position, as you
00:40 - 00:44can see, to release his posterior shoulder, but I'm going to have him kneel up,
00:44 - 00:47kind of show you the anatomy of the posterior shoulder, and kind of show you
00:47 - 00:51how to set this up before we get into position for his other shoulder.
00:51 - 00:57Now, the structures that are likely tight are his posterior deltoid,
00:57 - 01:05underneath that is posterior capsule, and then his teres minor. This area right
01:05 - 01:12here as a propensity to shorten and drive the humeral head forward. So all
01:12 - 01:17we've had Mike do is lay on his side, and try to get the ball on the posterior aspect of
01:17 - 01:23his armpit basically, his axel. We're going to get right in this area here, search
01:23 - 01:30for the most tender spot. I'm going to go ahead and get you into position for the other side this time.
01:33 - 01:36He's going to lie on his side, the position of his legs really doesn't matter although
01:36 - 01:41he probably wants them slightly bent for comfort. He's going to get his arms stretched out,
01:41 - 01:45but you don't want that arm in a position where he actually has to hold himself up
01:45 - 01:49on this arm. This arm needs to be relaxed, so he needs to be using this arm for support.
01:49 - 01:55He's going to find that tender spot, which I think, Mike, have you found the tender spot? -I certainly have.
01:55 - 01:58He's found that tender spot, and he's going to hold it for a minimum of 20 to 30
01:58 - 02:03seconds just like all of our other static release techniques
02:03 - 02:10or, ideally, until he feels some sort of release actually happening. If you
02:10 - 02:15hold this in a static position without any fidgeting long enough, you should
02:15 - 02:19actually feel that muscle let go a little bit, increasing extensibility, or greatly
02:19 - 02:22reducing pain. Thank you.
