A complex of therapeutic exercises for humeroscapular periarthritis is part of a complex therapy in the treatment of inflammation of the shoulder joint. Shoulder-shoulder periarthritis is a severe but treatable condition.
At the initial stage, a person feels aching pain in the shoulder joint, which is removed with simple painkillers. As a rule, at this moment the patient does not seek help from a specialist, muffling the disease with drugs. If the joint is not treated in time, a complication may occur in the form of partial or complete fusion of the bones.

Dr. Popov's method
It is important to know that the occurrence of pain in the shoulder joint can indicate such a formidable disease as humeroscapular periarthritis. Popov's set of exercises, already with the diagnosis, is performed slowly and smoothly. The doctor forbids making sudden movements with his hands and advises you to think about the positive effect on the body through exercise.
Principles of treatment
How is periarthritis of the humeroscapular treated?
Popov's set of exercises is carried out according to the "small movements" method. The basis of each exercise is tilting, stretching, flexion and extension of the muscles of the back and shoulder.
Dr. Popovinclines to the version that during the illness, the joint is fixed in a position that alleviates pain. After recovery, the joint remains in the same forced position, due to which there is a violation of the trophism (nutrition) of the tissues in the shoulder. To cure humeroscapular periarthritis, Popov's set of exercises was developed on the principle of "memorizing" cells and tissues. Each exercise is important to repeat up to 10 times.
Popov's method. Core Exercises
Each exercise is performed while keeping the spine in a vertical position.
1. Imitation of walking while sitting on the edge of a chair. Put your hands on your knees, spread your legs apart. It is necessary to alternately raise and lower the feet, and slide your hands up and down the thigh at the same time. It is important to breathe properly during the exercise. Lowering your hands to your knees, you need to inhale, raising your hands - exhale.
2. The same exercise is carried out, but now it is necessary to make circular movements with the palms, starting from the hips and ending with the knees. If pain does not occur during the exercise, you can hold your palms below the knee.
These are the basic warm-up exercises to be done through each basic movement. Due to these exercises, coordination of movements improves, and the muscles are constantly in a warm state.
How to properly relax your shoulder muscles
One of the most important is the relaxation exercisemuscles. How to do it correctly? Sit straight and straighten your arms, while relaxing the muscles of your back and shoulder. Slowly raise and lower your shoulders. Trying not to stop moving your arms, bend your back, and then straighten up very slowly. Repeat several times.
Basic shoulder exercises

2. Raising your shoulders up, try to stretch the spine. Hold your shoulders in this position for a few seconds, then lower your shoulders and pull them down. Also stay in this position for 2-3 seconds.

4. Alternately raise your arms up and try to slightly turn the body and neck in the direction of the raised arm. Lower your arms down and fully relax your shoulder muscles.
5. Bend your right arm at the elbow and raise it up. Lower your arm down and straighten it slowly. The same movements must be repeated with the other hand.
6. Stretch your arms forward and make a lock. Making wave-like movements, try to stretch the muscles of the shoulder and forearm. Be sure to do the movements at first in a slow rhythm, and then gradually increase the pace. Change wave-like movements into circular ones.
7. Straighten your back and place your hands on your knees, palms down. It is necessary to tilt the body forward and pull the shoulder to the opposite knee. Perform the exercise alternately with each shoulder, straightening the body after each movement.
