Chair Yoga exercises for a frozen shoulder

Our Gentle Chair Yoga Expert, Jyoti Nanda has put together a demonstration of exercises for relieving pain due to a frozen shoulder.

Frozen shoulder is stiffness, pain and limited range of motion in the shoulder. The tissues around the joint stiffen, scar tissue forms and shoulder movements become difficult and painful. So mostly to avoid the pain, people stop the use of the affected joint. But this leads to ‘if you don’t use it you lose it’. So deliberate movement is necessary to gradually bring back the full range of movement.

Movement can be used to improve blood flow in these muscles, which will help to lessen the pain. With continual range of motion movements, the muscles and fascia surrounding the shoulder will increase in flexibility so that the shoulder can function.

Here is a demonstration of swim strokes like exercises to ease the pain in the shoulder joint.

Swim strokes moves

  • Roll one shoulder back as head turns in that direction. Repeat on other side. Palms face upward.
  • Reverse the movement by rolling the shoulder forward with head tilted slightly downwards. Palms face downward.
  • Move both shoulders back like a backstroke palms upwards.
  • Move both shoulders forward like a butterfly with palms downward

 

Please watch the video to follow the steps. Please remember that all exercises should be done in consultation with your doctor.

For Family Caregivers, A New Year’s Resolution Can Inspire Your Best Year Yet

If you are among the 8% of Americans who actually accomplish their New Year’s resolution goals , well done! However, if you are like the majority of us, you’ve given up prior to even turning the calendar page to February. Although it is undoubtedly commendable to attempt to better ourselves by resolving to lose 10 pounds or with healthier living, for busy family caregivers, there are truly meaningful, achievable goals that will improve life all through the year. Consider these recommendations: Find joy. Looking after somebody else is a labor of love, but can also bring about challenges, which makes it hard to concentrate on the daily benefits that spark joy. Devote some time on a daily basis to pause and discover a reason to smile. Bring a sense of humor to your daily caregiving tasks, sharing laughter together with your loved one. Enjoy the feeling of the sunlight shining through the window as you’re folding laundry. And make time to call someone who lifts your spirits for a brief...

Dads and Pops: Your Good Health Matters to Us 

Did you know  June is  Men’s Health Month  and Father’s Day anchors Men’s Health Week ?   Celebrate dad on Father’s Day and thank him for all he  has  done, but  also  make sure to seize an opportunity sometime this month to have a conversation with him about his health. This awareness campaign has the critical purpose of informing men   that avoiding preventive healthcare puts them at real and serious risk of  contracting a disease or  acquiring  a chronic condition.   Studies consistently  show the numbers go against men , particularly as they advance into their senior years.   Even with dramatic advances in diagnosis and treatment over the past 100 years, men’s life expectancy still lags significantly behind women. According to  Harvard Health ,  the gap is widening. In 1900, the life expectancy for women was 48.3 years vs. 46.3 for men. In 2017, it was 81.1 years for women vs. 76.1 for men. Harvard...

How Does Caregiving Stress Affect Your Career?

Lots of caregivers believe that the stress they experience as a part of caregiving is something that they only experience in that situation. But stress doesn’t care where you are or what you’re doing. If you ignore it, you’ll find the effects of stress following you even to your career and that can be bad for multiple reasons. Stress Is Everywhere Stress is a normal part of life. It’s literally everywhere and it takes the form of both “good” stress and “bad” stress. So-called good stress makes you alert to dangers and can keep you from making mistakes that could prove harmful to you. Bad stress is stress that takes a toll on you mentally and physically. It’s a result of being hypervigilant for too long. Stress Doesn’t Stay in Categories Something else to understand about stress is that it doesn’t stay boxed up neatly. Your stress as a caregiver will flow into the rest of your life, including your career and your other relationships, unless you take steps to manage it appropriat...
