If you have a rotator cuff injury or any injury for that matter at the time you’re also feeling like you’re constantly faced with figuring out your changing body’s needs, this is for you. We unpack the unknowing and waiting. What can you do when mobility or ability is limited? How do you create a plan?  We discussed blood flow restriction bands, water exercise and options to keep you in alignment. With any injury it’s common and a risk to begin compensating for the injury. There is always something that you can do. When it’s not exercise or movement, it can be a focus on nutrition.  My Guest:   Sue is 66, a retired teacher/librarian, living in Australia.

I like to exercise regularly; as well as sew; knit; garden; do yoga; and travel. Questions We Answer in This Episode: How did you sustain your injury? What were your symptoms? Do you know which rotator cuff you have injured? What have you been doing to recover from this? How can you make sure you don’t lose muscle mass and reduce bone density losses?  What can you do when an injury is limiting you?  Come up with a plan for now, for next, and find a way to feel better about the future. If you’ve got an injury and it’s been diagnosed, keep asking questions of your diagnosing physician. Ask for guidelines, limitations, criteria for doing more or doing less. Ask for time with a physical therapist if appropriate.  Resources:  5 Day Flip: https://www.flippingfifty.com/5dayflip Other Episodes You Might Like:  Dr Joe Mercola on Blood Flow Restriction Training |Flipping 50 Interview https://www.flippingfifty.com/blood-flow-restriction-training/ BFR Bands to Gain Strength After 50, 60 and 70 https://www.flippingfifty.com/gain-strength-after-50/ The Chronic Pain Solution for Complete Resolution https://www.flippingfifty.com/chronic-pain-solution/
