The document outlines a seminar series focused on pain management and shoulder impairment, detailing the functional anatomy, common injuries, and associated assessment findings. It emphasizes the importance of muscle balance in the shoulder complex and presents a corrective exercise strategy with specific steps for rehabilitation. The document concludes with a sample exercise program designed to inhibit, lengthen, activate, and integrate muscles affected by shoulder impairment.

3. Introduction ©2006 Life Time Fitness The human body is susceptible to movement dysfunctions and neruomusculoskeletal imbalances. The shoulder complex is a region of the body that is greatly influenced by other areas of the body above and below it. As one of the most unstable or mobile joints in the human body, it is reliant upon precise muscle activity for support. This means that any muscle imbalance throughout the human body can dramatically alter the support mechanism of the shoulder and lead to dysfunction and eventually injury.

13. ©2006 Life Time Fitness Corrective Exercise Strategy There are essentially four steps in the Corrective Exercise Continuum: Inhibit the overactive muscles – reduces unwanted tension to prepare for lengthening. Lengthen the overactive/short muscles – increases extensibility and length-tension relationships. Activate the underactive muscles – re-educates the underactive tissues increasing intramuscular connection. Integrate the muscles back into their functional synergies – establishes intermuscular coordination and increases neuromuscular efficiency
