If you have just recovered from a frozen shoulder and want to play golf again, please pay attention to this article. A frozen shoulder condition can take over a year to improve and requires the person to exercise every day. If the shoulder is not used for a long period of time, it will lose approximately five percent of its strength every day. For example, you may notice that in bodybuilders, if they miss their gym routine for more than two weeks, they may notice that their muscle atrophies (was down) very quickly. The same applies to people who suffer from frozen shoulder. It’s important, you always do your shoulder exercises.
Before doing any specific strengthening exercise, always do a warm up. Your muscles are like steel wires. If you do your stretching right away, the risk of damaging your muscles is very high because there is not enough blood circulation in the shoulder muscles and the stiffness of the muscle fibers can lead to greater stretching forces.
Warm up by applying a hot compress or taking a hot shower to the affected shoulder. This will help blood circulate through the area. Then stretch your shoulder muscles and don’t forget to stretch your neck muscles as well. If you have enough time, go for a brisk jog for five to ten minutes in the fresh air to give yourself more blood circulation and improve cellular metabolic chemical reactions in your body.
Doing all of this will get you back to playing golf in no time!
