I asked the client if he was willing to try to use a heating pad before we meet for our yoga therapy session, so the muscles would have increased blood flow and movement might we a bit easier as the muscle is already warmed up. He agreed.
We checked in about his level of pain, he states his shoulder felt a little stiff in the morning but its ok now.
Started out in mountain pose, checking into his body, checking into his breath noticing any tension in his body and sending a mental message to release. Starting with shoulder roles in both directions.
Chin to chest pendulum movements
Ear to shoulder movement including moving the opposite arm backwards and feeling into the stretch on both sides
Chest openers, with imagining pressing a beach ball together.
Forward bend agains the wall with pendulum swings of one arm and then the other.
Forward bend with engaging the back muscles, like in a baby cobra on the floor, which he is not able to do because of his shoulder.
Half lifts
walking his hands up the wall, both sides
table top with circles
child pose from child going into cat cow and then going back into child dynamically with focus on the in and out breath

table top with fire hydrant leg circles to work on gluts in both directions on both sides
table top with straight leg and kicks towards the ceiling to work on gluts.
then going on to the laying on the back, in savasana, with guided imaging drawing inward focusing on the breath the heart beats the blood flow thought his body nursing the cells with oxygen.

The client is able to use his left arm a little more he is able to reach a bit more behind his back for his belt
his pain in his shoulder improve to the point that he was able to stop using ibuprofen
He is sleeping better, he has a bit more energy
he is using breathing practice more in stressful meeting
he is working on not getting involved when people in his group are stirring up drama

I am able to adapt to his needs.
Made a change from icing this shoulder to using heat following a recommendation of my mentor
I am building trust so he shares his work stressors with me
he is motivated because he is starting to see improvement
I am working on building a whole person treatment plan with slowly adding strength building with increased flexibility
He told me that he likes the yoga therapy because we are working on his whole body and mind as opposed to physical therapy that only worked on his shoulder,
I am integrating annamayakosha, pranamayakosha and manomayakosha in my treatment plan.

I will continue with the same treatment plan for the next sessions as I am seeing improvement .
