Why Your SLAP Tear Still Hurts: The No.1 Missing Link To Effective Shoulder Rehab

Why do you still get shoulder pain months (or years) after starting your SLAP tear rehab? If lifting weights or doing calisthenics still hurts, then you must read this article!

In this week's featured content, “Why Does My SLAP Tear Still Hurt When I’m Lifting?”, we help you understand how to manipulate one of the key loading variables: range of motion - exercise range of motion (ROM).

This is extremely important because we’ve found that most people fail to properly utilize ROM as a priority loading variable, causing major rehab setbacks and frustration.

Discover the Secrets to a Safe and Effective SLAP Tear Rehab

Managing a SLAP tear is no easy feat. The journey can be challenging, and taking the wrong steps can set you back significantly. 

However, with the right guidance, you can navigate this path with confidence. We emphasize the importance of carefully managing load in the early stages of rehabilitation. 

This crucial step ensures you don’t push beyond your current range of motion, which could lead to further injury. Instead, you’ll learn to progressively increase your range of motion and load, following a structured program that changes every four weeks to optimize recovery.

The Power of Progressive Overload

Progressive overload is essential for adapting your shoulder to increased loads and ranges of motion. For example, don’t start by attempting overhead presses. Instead, start with a flat dumbbell chest press, then gradually move to a 30-degree incline chest press, and eventually to a 60-degree incline before tackling a shoulder press. 

Each phase of the pressing movement pattern slightly alters the range of shoulder flexion and prepares your shoulder for the next challenge, ensuring steady and safe progress. Without this gradual adaptation, you risk overloading your shoulder too soon, which can lead to setbacks and prolonged recovery.

Navigating Pain and Recovery

Pain is an inevitable part of the rehab process, but understanding it is key to overcoming it. Experiencing pain at the limits of your pain-free range is normal, even as you get stronger. 

This pain should decrease over time with proper training. We stress the importance of monitoring your baseline pain—the pain felt during everyday activities. 

An increase in this baseline pain signals the need to scale back your workouts, allowing your shoulder to recover without added strain.

Fine-Tuning for Pain Reduction

Recovery is not just about managing load and range of motion. Additional factors such as tempo, volume, and complexity of exercises can be manipulated to reduce pain and enhance recovery. 

By adjusting these variables, you can create a tailored rehab program that addresses your unique needs and speeds up your recovery process.
