An easy way to get back to lifting weight overhead without shoulder pain

If you’ve been avoiding reaching or lifting any weight overhead, follow along as Dr. Clayton walks you through a simple exercise that will help you get past that nagging shoulder pain. 

Instead of just stretching and hoping that the pain will disappear, try this simple, but effective move!

 

 

Don’t forget to start small - think 3-5 lb dumbbell - and focus on slow, controlled movements. Aim for 2-3 sets of 5 to start.  

This will overload your tissues so you build the strength and stability you need to get back to moving your shoulder pain free.  

Give it a try and let us know how it goes for you!

Clayton earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2020 from Wichita State allowing him to combine his love for the human body and helping clients improve their health while building strength and resiliency. “I thoroughly enjoy walking the path alongside my client and guiding him or her to being in control of his or her health.” After experiencing the “traditional” line of physical therapy in other outpatient clinics, he knew there was a more client-centered approach that could provide long-term access to care and improved results. “Our current medical system often prioritizes injections and surgeries over conservative care. After helping numerous clients eliminate pain and return to their activities, I’m confident there are many cases that can avoid unnecessary surgeries” Clayton is trained in a variety of manual therapy techniques and certified in Functional Dry Needling. In his time away from the clinic he enjoys spending time with his wife and daughters, with adventure and activities such as working out, hiking, kayaking, yard games, and anything new to stay active. He also enjoys vacations of all kinds from weekend road trips to cruises!
