💪🏻 五十肩復健日記｜今次隻膊頭撐唔撐得住？ 👀

要令肩膊郁得返係一回事，但當身體郁動嘅時候，仲要肩膊承受一定負荷，同時保持穩定，又係另一個挑戰！💪🏻

今次做 Pilates Reformer 嘅 Long Stretch，真係明顯感受到左右兩邊肩膊嘅分別！😅 尤其係右邊肩膊，成個過程都需要更加集中精神，留意肩膊嘅穩定性同動作控制。

其實呢個動作唔係要勉強自己拉得更盡，而係透過練習，慢慢提升身體感知、肩膊控制能力，同埋對自己動作嘅信心！✨

🧊 Frozen Shoulder Rehab: Can MY Shoulder HOLD the Stretch? 👀

Getting your shoulder to move is one thing. Keeping it stable under load while your body moves? That’s another challenge! 💪

I definitely felt the difference between my two sides! 😅 My right shoulder needed a lot more attention and control throughout this exercise.

This Reformer Pilates exercise isn’t about forcing a deeper stretch. It’s about building awareness, control, and confidence in your movement. ✨

💬 Do you notice a difference between your left and right sides?

感受下 Disney 嘅夢幻氣氛 🏰🤍
唔趕行程、唔趕時間，今日唯一要做嘅就係——好好享受個假期。✨
有時真係要識得停一停，叉叉電 🔋
食好啲、瞓好啲、睇靚景，乜都唔使諗。😌
呢個 Disney Cruise，真係我需要嘅 reset。🤍✨

💙復康唔只係「做多啲、練大力啲」，而係要知道自己身體而家準備好去到邊一步。✨

今次我開始喺 Reformer 加入更多 動態動作（dynamic movement），包括 Knee Hovers & Jack Rabbit。由雙手支撐喺 foot bar，到慢慢加入肩胛骨嘅動態控制，每一步都係按住身體當刻嘅狀態去調整。

對我嚟講，肩膊復康唔係追求快，而係由 mobility → control → strength → dynamic movement，一步一步將動作重新建立返。💪🏻

有時進步未必係舉得更重，而係身體開始可以更自然、更有控制咁郁。💙

Little by little, getting there. 🙌🏻

💙 Shoulder Rehab Progress | Moving Beyond Strength

Rehab isn’t just about doing more or getting stronger—it’s about knowing what your body is ready for at each stage. ✨

This time, I’m starting to add more dynamic movement on the Reformer, including Knee Hovers & Jack Rabbit. From supporting my forearms on the box to load my shoulders to gradually introducing more dynamic movement, every progression is based on what my body/injured shoulder is ready for.

For me, shoulder rehab has been about rebuilding step by step:
mobility → control → strength → dynamic movement 💪🏻

Sometimes progress isn’t about lifting heavier. It’s being able to move with more control, confidence, and freedom.

Little by little, getting there. 💙

肩膀康復不只是追求幅度，更重要的是控制力與動作質量！ 💫

現階段，我開始將「臨床普拉提 Clinical Pilates」融入肩膀復健，重點是讓肩胛骨、胸椎與核心更協調地一起工作。

✨ Prone Scapular Protraction & Retraction
保持手肘伸直，控制肩胛骨沿著肋骨滑動。仔細看會發現，我受傷的右側明顯沒有左側順暢。

✨ Progress to Swan
按壓推送桿，呼氣啟動核心，加入小幅胸椎伸展，再控制回到起始位置。

💡 Physio Tip：Control → Integrate → Progress

Shoulder rehab isn’t just about range — it’s about quality and control. 💫

I’m now incorporating Clinical Pilates to improve how my shoulder blade, thoracic spine and core work together.

✨ Prone Scapular Protraction & Retraction
Control the shoulder blades as they glide around the rib cage. You can see my injured right side still isn’t moving as smoothly as my left.

✨ Progress to Swan
Press into the bar, engage the deep core and add a small thoracic extension before returning with control.

💡 Physio Tip: Control → Integrate → Progress

係咪有時會覺得，做復康嗰陣要靠器材/輔助，就好似退步咗咁？💭

肩周炎（五十肩）真係好令人煩躁，但上 Reformer（核心床）絕非偷懶！佢係畀個關節一個有支撐又安全嘅環境，等個膊頭唔使同自己死抗，真正放鬆咁去動起來。

💡 物理治療小 Tips： 接受輔助唔係退步。有時有支撐，反而令我哋動得更好、更順暢。
對自己嘅身體畀多點耐心，有意識咁去練，善用器材幫自己啦！✨

​Ever feel like using support means you’re taking a step back in your recovery? 💭

​Dealing with a frozen shoulder can be wildly frustrating, but hopping on the Reformer isn't about taking the easy way out. It’s about giving the joint the controlled environment and assistance it needs so you can actually move without fighting your own body.

​💡 PHYSIO TIP: Support isn't a step backwards. Sometimes support helps us move better.
​Be patient with your process, move with intention, and let the equipment work for you! ✨

上一集我們介紹了「循序漸進的負重訓練」（Progressive Loading）💪 這次要延續這個進度，帶大家找回兩個關鍵的肩關節動作：肩膀外展 + 外旋！

這次我使用的是 2 磅的加重棒（Weighted Bar），由好手來輔助帶動，同時讓輕微的阻力繼續刺激與挑戰正在恢復中的患側肩。✨

但我並不是在盲目追求「最大的角度」哦！🚫

我更專注於動作的控制力——絕對不靠軀幹借力或補償，只為了把手臂抬得更高。

💡 Physio Tip 物理治療小貼士：
更大的角度，不代表是更好的角度。不妨問問自己：「這個動作，真的有準確用到肩膀的力量嗎？」

復健不只是「動得更多」，而是要「動得更好」。💙

追蹤 ，一起解密更多 #運動背後的物治原理！

Last episode, we introduced progressive loading. Now we're continuing that progress by restoring two important movements: shoulder rotation + abduction.

Using my 2 lb weighted bar, my good arm assists the movement while the light resistance continues to challenge my recovering shoulder. 💪

But I'm not chasing the biggest range possible.

I'm focusing on controlled movement without letting my trunk compensate just to get my arm farther.

💡 Physio Tip: A bigger range isn't always a better range. Ask yourself: “Is the movement actually coming from my shoulder?”

Recovery isn't just about moving more—it's about moving better. 💙
