What’s Inside?
This ebook—by Dr. Cali Pyzdrowski—focuses on alleviating shoulder pain associated with CrossFit gymnastics exercises. Key points include:
- Causes of Shoulder Pain: Issues such as poor mobility, lack of stability, weak shoulder muscles, and poor movement patterns.
- Gymnastics Movement Types: Divided movements into pressing (e.g., push-ups, handstands) and pulling (e.g., pull-ups, muscle-ups), both requiring strong shoulder stability and mobility.
- Exercises for Pain Relief: Specific exercises targeting mobility, stability, and strength to address common deficits:
- Mobility: Thoracic extension and rotation exercises.
- Strength: Banded rows and shoulder rotation presses.
- Stability: Kettlebell arm bars with thoracic rotation.
- Integration into Routine: Ways you might incorporate exercises based on your individual needs, with ways to integrate them regularly into warmups.
- Consistency: How patience and regular practice can lead to effective pain relief and mobility improvement.
Throughout the ebook, Dr. Cali also includes links to exercise demonstration videos, contact information, and additional guidance if you experience shoulder pain during gymnastics movements.
