But, based on the inability to stabilize the scapula and control glenohumeral joint rotation with the cross-body stretch and the potential for subacromial impingement with the sleeper stretch, the authors recommend modifications to both of these commonly performed stretches. The cross-body and sleeper stretch exercises have been described as stretching techniques to improve posterior shoulder soft tissue flexibility and to increase glenohumeral joint internal rotation and horizontal adduction range of motion in the overhead athlete.
More tracks like 102.Stretching techniques that focus on increasing posterior shoulder soft tissue flexibility are commonly incorporated into prevention and treatment programs for the overhead athlete. Stretching for shoulder pain - Is it time to put sleeper stretches to bed? with Jo Gibson Therefore, the objectives of this study were to (1) to determine the natural time course for spontaneous recovery of IR after a throwing episode and (2) to evaluate the effect of the sleeper stretch on the time course for recovery of IR after a throwing episode. Stretching for shoulder pain - Is it time to put sleeper stretches to bed? with Jo Gibson 3, 8 To better assist the patient in proper body positioning. 13 This trunk position also orients the humerus in the scapular plane, which has been shown to place increased strain on the posterior capsule. Stretching for shoulder pain - Is it time to put sleeper stretches to bed? with Jo Gibson This modified sleeper stretch is designed to minimize symptoms of pain that can occur with the shoulder in a 90° flexed position. How can you use GIRD to monitor your athletes fatigue and recovery? Does eccentric strengthening have a role in improving GIRD in patients with true capsular stiffness or fibrosis? In patients with true capsular stiffness, does stretching in combination with damp heat have a role? If you have a patient with GIRD, what does this tell you? Humeral retroversion and how torsional load from throwing sports at a young age impact your ROM assessment. What exercises can you use with patients with GIRD to improve ROM and cuff recruitment? Can we use strengthening movements to improve range and cuff recruitment? Is stretching an effective, efficient and evidence-based treatment? If we get immediate changes in ROM with a sleeper stretch, does that mean we should use this as a treatment? #Sleeper stretch driver#
What is the driver of decreased range of movement (ROM)? Jo explores the current research and clinical implications on your treatment, including:

In this podcast, Jo Gibson (Clinical Physiotherapy Specialist) discusses how to differentiate true capsular stiffness from muscle stiffness, what information GIRD provides, and whether sleeper stretches for shoulder pain are a useful treatment. Do you include stretches in your treatment of shoulder pain? Have you ever identified a glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) and used the "Sleeper stretch" to help improve internal rotation? Do stretches have any value for shoulder pain, or are there better treatment options?
