Coracobrachialis muscle

That's a muscle I'd never heard of before. I had to look it up.

Interestingly, it's a muscle that is very tight on my left side.(Nonsurgical side) However, it has loosened up a lot with the joint mobility exercises.

The nice thing about joint mobility is I've learned to just concentrate on trying to get full range of motion from each joint, and combination of joints. I don't worry about this muscle, or that muscle, and since I'm using movement, the muscles seem to strengthen themselves as they release and get healthier. Scott Sonnon has taught me to think of the body as one big muscle that works together, rather than a lot of separate parts.

No doctors or therapists
 

Since I've started stretching and joint mobility, I haven't been to any doctors or therapists. I've been to my share of them over the years and they haven't been much help. Most of them didn't want to deal with me anyway. They just had no idea what to do for me.

One physical therapist that I saw told me," I was one of the tightest people she's ever seen, and I could improve a lot, but I was going to have to figure it out on my own." I was kind of passed around like a hot potato.

So I figure now that I'm making good progress by myself, why waste my time and money on doctors and therapists?

Scott Sonnon isn't a doctor or physical therapist, but I've gotten more useful and helpful information from listening to him than just about anyone else. It kind of makes the medical community look bad.

Intu-flow for TOS
 

Here's a link from someone else, besides me, who recommends Intu-flow for TOS, for all the naysayers out there. TOS is at the bottom, under, "Upper limb disorders."

Reaching is getting better
 

It's taken a long time, but reaching is starting to get a lot easier for me. For the first time in many years, I'm actually able to lock my elbows out without pain. So now I'm starting to reach from the shoulder and all the upper back muscles are starting to loosen up. The lats, the traps, the rhomboids, all that stuff. It's pretty neat. Sometimes, it seems like you work on certain areas over and over, without much progress, and then all of a sudden, the muscles start to let go. Persistence pays off.

Tea cup exercise
 

This is an exercise I like a lot.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ffpcRxWgsg

For many years, I couldn't even turn my palms up right in front of me. Now I can do movements like this. That's how effective joint mobility can be if you work at it.

Ohhhhh..... thats a tough move!!!!!! It makes me realise how tight I am in that region. I will work on it though- very CAREFULLY. The words in my head sound abit like this..... "Come on woman your 38 not 83".:o

Oh man, that brings back memories from when I trained martial arts. That exercise is straight out of baguazhang kung fu. I was thinking just the other day that baguazhang has a lot of nerve glides built into it. Enjoy!

Enjoy! :D I watched the video and had a flare.

Keep going as your getting progress, congrats. My goal is to crack the seal on the video I bought one year from now.

Which video will you be cracking the seal on?

By the way, this reads humorously as if simply watching the video caused a flare. :D
