Introduction to scapulohumeral periarthritis

Periarthritis of shoulder is a common shoulder disease, which often causes shoulder pain, stiffness and limited movement. With the increase of age, the deterioration and wear of shoulder joint may lead to this disease. In addition, keeping the same posture for a long time, lack of exercise and shoulder injury may also increase the risk of scapulohumeral periarthritis. If you have scapulohumeral periarthritis, please consult a doctor and follow his treatment advice.

Second, the role of stretching

Stretching has a positive effect on relieving symptoms of scapulohumeral periarthritis. Stretching can increase the range of motion of shoulder, relieve pain and stiffness, and help to improve the elasticity of shoulder muscles. Sticking to the correct stretching exercise can effectively relieve the symptoms of scapulohumeral periarthritis and even prevent it from getting worse.

Third, the method of stretching

1. Static stretching: put the affected upper arm close to the body, and slowly press the affected arm against the opposite shoulder with the other hand until you feel a slight stretching feeling. Hold this position 15-30 seconds, and then relax. Can be repeated 3-5 times.

2. Dynamic stretching: Stand up straight or sit up straight, and lift the upper arm of the affected side parallel to the ground. Gently support the affected arm with the other hand to help it swing back and forth. The movements should be gentle and rhythmic, and avoid overexertion. Dynamic stretching can last for 5- 10 minutes.

3. Stretch with props: wrap a towel or belt around the affected shoulder and hold both ends of the towel with both hands. Put the healthy arm behind your back, in line with the affected arm. Then the arm of the healthy side pulls the bandage downwards, which drives the shoulder of the affected side to lift upwards, and holds it for 15-30 seconds and then relaxes. Repeat 3-5 times.

Fourth, matters needing attention

1. Too much force should be avoided when stretching, so as not to cause shoulder muscle or joint damage.

2. Follow the principle of individuation, and choose the appropriate stretching method and strength according to your own situation. If you feel uncomfortable, please stop stretching immediately.

Before stretching, please make sure your body is in a good posture to avoid twisting or bending.

4. Maintain good living habits, keep your shoulders warm, and avoid overwork and shoulder injuries.
