Take it easy on the shoulder area, can take about a year to heal.

Dips between chairs can be quite strenuous on the shoulders, I do 3 chair dips and notice it works my shoulders. You can do kneeling 2 chair dips to ease any stress, I've done floor push-ups where when I reach my max I'll go onto knees and then after I've reached my point of no more I'd use a box to...

Depends how serious the injury is, even mild shoulder strain can take a long time. Do you have the Atlas Dynamic Tension System ? it has many helpful exercises.

For me the Atlas self resistance exercises are very therapeutic for strains, you can't over do it since you'll get a signal to how much tension you can apply. The Dynamic Tension shoulder lesson has movement which helps a lot in blood circulation.

My wife and her brother go hiking every Saturday morning for about 3 hours, the snow here in SW Ontario doesn't stop them. They plan to do the Camino de Santiago trail this Summer, 791 km (490 miles). I've maintained my body weight of 138 lbs, most guys at work think it's ridiculously low but I was ...

True when doing a forward bend the knees should never be locked and just very slightly bent. Because of my studies in exercise, movement is always done slow, this reduces any kind of momentum and over stretch. At 62 and work on construction sites I have zero lower back problem. My job calls me to li...
