 The
shoulder joint is a truly remarkable creation. It's
quite a complex formation of bones, muscles and tendons
and provides a great range of motion to the arm. It is
made up of three bones, and the tendons of four
muscles. This week we focus on, Exercising The Rotator
Cuff. Try incorporating the stretching and
strengthening exercises (after warming-up) in your daily
routine to save yourself from a major headache in the
future.

Research shows
that
aquatic-therapy
decreases
gravitational
pull and
increases
flexibility,
increases muscle
strength,
decreases pain,
swelling, and
spasticity, and
improves
balance. Aqua
therapy is a
versatile
exercise and is
particularly
good for people
with conditions
such as: Spinal
Osteoarthritis,
Advanced
osteoporosis
(with
susceptibility
to and/or pain
from fracture),
Muscle strain or
tears. In
addition to
these
conditions,
water therapy is
frequently
recommended as
one form of
exercise therapy
to treat those
with diabetes as
well as
individuals with
high blood
pressure. Both
conditions can
improve and
become more
manageable with
aquatic
exercise.

Don't be Afraid of Failure
In the words of the Duke of York “I was always taught in
the Navy that no plan outlasts first contact with the
enemy because you have no idea what the enemy will do in
reaction. To some extent, a business doesn’t know what’s
going to happen until it goes out and does it because
clients and customers have different ideas. It’s about
being strong enough to recognize that having an idea is
a good thing and then if an idea doesn’t work, don’t be
afraid of failure."
The only way you’re going to get stronger is to fail a
few times. because how far can you really fall? You
should be proud that you weren’t afraid — not
embarrassed that you failed. Be proud for all the effort
put in, and you will progress.

Exercising The Rotator Cuff
 Chronic shoulder pain is a common consequence of repetitive overhead activity, such as serving and smashing in tennis, freestyle or butterfly swimming, javelin throwing, or bowling in cricket.
