A set of therapeutic exercises for humeroscapular periarthritis is part of complex therapy in the treatment of inflammation of the shoulder joint. Periarthritis of the shoulder blade is a serious but treatable disease.
At the initial stage, a person feels aching pain in the shoulder joint, which is relieved by simple painkillers. As a rule, at this moment the patient does not seek help from a specialist, muffling the disease with drugs. If the joint is not started to be treated in time, a complication may occur in the form of partial or complete bone fusion.
Periarthritis of the shoulder blade. Exercise complex
Exercise therapy for this disease is aimed at eliminating even small pain in inflamed tissues as quickly as possible. It also helps to relax the muscles around the shoulder and shoulder blade and thereby increase the mobility of the diseased joint.
When a patient is hospitalized in the acute period of the disease, doctors prescribe a special set of exercises for shoulder-shoulder periarthritis.
Main complex
1. The patient needs to sit at the table and lean on his elbows. The back should be straight during each exercise (this is a very important rule, since with the shoulder-shoulder periarthritis, the spine plays a big role in recovery). It is necessary to compress the hands into a fist and unclench them, while straining the muscles of the shoulder.
2. Perform bending of the arms in the wrist joint with their subsequent extension.
3. Make circular movements with brushes around the same joints.
4. Straighten both hands and raise them up slowly without jerking, then sharply lower your hands on the table. When performing this exercise, the patient should not feel pain. If pain does occur, you need to lower your arms as slowly as raise.
5. Slightly raise the hands up and put your hands on your elbows. Straighten the brush, and then raise and lower it down, making movements in the wrist joint.
6. Straighten your arms and spread them apart. The shoulder blades must be movable during this exercise. They must be brought together and put apart.
7. Bend your elbows and connect your palms. One hand should press on the other. It is necessary to strain the internal muscles of the shoulder and forearm.
8. Straighten your hands and put them on the table. Raise both arms as high as possible alternately.

Method of Dr. Popov
It is important to know that the occurrence of pain in the shoulder joint can speak of such a formidable disease as periarthritis of the shoulder-shoulder. The set of exercises of Popov, even with the diagnosis, is performed slowly and smoothly. The doctor forbids making sharp movements with his hands and advises you to think about what positive effect is exerted on the body through the implementation of exercises.
Treatment principles
How is shoulder gland periarthritis treated?
A set of exercises Popov carried out according to the method of "small movements". The basis of each exercise is the inclination, sipping, flexion and extension of the muscles of the back and shoulder.
Dr. Popov is inclined to the version that during the disease the joint is fixed in a position that alleviates pain. After recovery, the joint remains in the same forced position, due to which there is a violation of the trophism (nutrition) of tissues in the shoulder. To cure shoulder-shoulder periarthritis, Popov's set of exercises was developed on the principle of “remembering” cells and tissues. Each exercise is important to repeat up to 10 times.
Popov's technique. Main exercises
Each exercise is performed while fixing the spine in an upright position.
1. Simulated walking while sitting on the edge of a chair. Put your hands on your knees, spread your legs apart. It is necessary to alternately raise and lower the feet, and with your hands slide along the thigh up and down at the same time. It is important to breathe correctly during exercise. Lowering your hands to your knees, you need to take a breath, raising your hands - exhale.
2. The same exercise is carried out, but now it is necessary to make circular movements with the palms, starting from the hip to the knees. If pain does not occur during exercise, you can hold your palms below the knee.
These are the main warm-up exercises that must be performed through each main movement. Due to these exercises, coordination of movements improves , and the muscles are constantly in a heated state.
How to relax your shoulder muscles
One of the most important is exercise for muscle relaxation. How to do it right? Sit straight and straighten your arms, while relaxing your back and shoulder muscles. Slowly raise and lower your shoulders. Trying not to stop moving her arms, bend her back, and then very slowly straighten up. Repeat several times.
Basic exercises for the shoulder joint
1. It is necessary to raise the shoulders as much as possible and, trying to stretch the muscles, draw with the shoulders the figure of eight, first at the same time, then alternately.
2. Raising the shoulders up, try to stretch the spine. Hold the shoulders in this position for several seconds, then lower the shoulders and pull them down. In this position also stay for 2-3 seconds.
3. Exercise “scissors”. To spread your arms to the sides and take a breath, cross both hands - exhale. When breeding hands, it is important to ensure that the shoulder blades are connected.
4. Raise the arms alternately upward and try to slightly rotate the body and neck towards the raised hand. Lower your arms down and fully relax your shoulder muscles.
5. Bend the right hand at the elbow and raise it up. Lower your hand down and straighten it slowly. These same movements must be repeated with the other hand.
6. Stretch your arms forward and make a lock. Making wave-like movements, try to stretch the muscles of the shoulder and forearm. Be sure to make movements first in a slow rhythm, and then gradually increase the pace. Change the wave-like motion to circular.
7. Straighten your back and put your hands on your knees, palms down. It is necessary to tilt the body forward and pull the shoulder to the opposite knee. Perform the exercise alternately with each shoulder, straightening the body after each movement.
8. Tilt the body and pull the chest to the knees. Lock the back in this position. Keep your back straight and motionless, trying at this moment to pull your shoulders to your knees. Hold in this position for a few seconds, then return to its original position and relax.
