Exercises After Shoulder Surgery (Post-Op Week 9)

Read Time < 1 minute

As many of you know, I had shoulder surgery in March 2022. I was recently given clearance to expand my range of motion. I thought it would be helpful to film my entire week 9 post-op PT session with Kyler Brown where we walk through 11 shoulder exercises. Remember, these exercises are great even if you’re not recovering from surgery!

In this video, we discuss:

  • 00:00 – Introduction
  • 05:15 – Isometric Shoulder Extension
  • 05:47 – Isometric Shoulder Flexion
  • 06:30 – Isometric Shoulder External Rotation
  • 08:33 – Assisted Flexion/Supination with Core Activation and Diaphragmatic Breathing
  • 09:59 – Ipsilateral Rotation With Banded Hip and Shoulder Facilitation
  • 13:23 – Bilateral Banded External Rotation (3 hand positions)
  • 15:38 – Kickstand RDL with External Rotation Isometric the Shoulder
  • 17:28 – Reverse Lunge with Isometric Row
  • 18:40 – Isometric Cuff walk-outs (Increases load tolerance without motion to the joint)

  1. Peter Attia’s decision to have surgery has lead to my own reassessment of the surgical option. My initial injury was in the late 80’s and ended my possibilities as a competitive grappler. I continued to grapple a little but my shoulder was always in a guarded position so I have been experiencing a slow cascade of complications that come from compensating for old injuries with poor ossature. I don’t think the surgical prognosis would have been positive when the injury was acute but the field has evolved and advanced and I am now looking for the best surgeon for my individual needs.

  2. When investing I often clone the processes of those I admire. By making his path public Mr. Attia is opening up the possibility of cloning aspects of his health process. Its a tremendous public service.
