Artist may suffer from shoulder pain, which is one of the occupational diseases. This kind of pain is always tagged as artists because they spend a lot of time in the same posture or using their hands, arms, and shoulders while painting or working. And the more they draw and work for a long time, the more severe the pain. Shoulder pain may be temporary, or it may continue and require medical diagnosis and treatment. Above all, it is a problem with the shoulder muscles or surrounding bones and a high probability of pain radiating from internal organs. How to prevent shoulder pain as an artist? Then, if the cause is limited to muscle pain and can be improved with light exercise, it is recommended to manage it with exercise or yoga. Today's post isn't about medical expertise. It's about exercises to prevent joint shoulder pain. Most of all, I am well aware of the difficulties of doing something consistently. For example, it is good to stretch for 10 minutes every morning and evening to prevent shoulder pain for ritual exercise. But it is challenging to keep it every day. The best thing I've come up with is to draw a stretch, stick it on a wall, and practice it every day in the same spot. I recommend making your own cozy and fancy place to practice while looking at the stretching poster. In that sense, I illustrated stretching to prevent shoulder pain. The contents are based on the contents provided by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital in Korea in commemoration of 'Shoulder Joint Week' set by the Korean Shoulder and Elbow Joint Association.

Anterior elevation (raise) exercise - With the pillow removed, lay down while looking at the ceiling. - With the elbow of the sore arm extended, hold the elbow of the painful arm with the opposite arm and push upward until it touches the floor above your head. - Raise it until pain occurs, hold it for 5 to 10 seconds, and then slowly return to the original state. -Repeat this movement 10 to 15 times. 2. adduction (gathering) exercise - With the pillow removed, lay down while looking at the ceiling. - With the elbow of the sore arm extended, use the opposite hand to grab the elbow part of the painful arm and pull it toward the normal shoulder. - Pull until pain occurs, hold it for 5 to 10 seconds, and then slowly return to the original position. -Repeat this movement 10 to 15 times. 3. External rotation (outward rotation) movement - With the pillow removed, lie down and look at the ceiling. - With your head interlaced, a family member around you gently presses the elbow of the painful arm toward the floor below. -Press until pain occurs, hold it for 5-10 seconds, and then slowly return to the original state. -Repeat this movement 10 to 15 times. 4. Internal rotation (inward rotation) movement -Only this movement is performed on a pillow. - Place the affected shoulder in close contact with the floor and lie on the side with the shoulder cut. At this time, it is effective for the painful shoulder, back, and buttocks to touch the wall. - With your arms outstretched so that the aching arm and torso maintain a 90-degree angle, hold the affected wrist with your normal hand and gently press down. -Press until pain occurs, hold it for 5-10 seconds, and then slowly return to the original state. -Repeat this movement 10 to 15 times. 5. Rotator cuff strengthening exercise : Turn inward - Securely tie a rubber band to the door at waist height to be about 30-50 cm high. -Grab the rubber band with your elbow at a right angle of 90 degrees, put a small towel on your armpit, and gently pull the rubber band toward your stomach while keeping the towel under your armpit from falling off. At this time, pull up to the pain-free range, stop at the top position for 5-10 seconds, and then slowly return to the original state. 6. Turn out -Fix the rubber band in the opposite position to the inward turning movement. Hold the rubber band with your elbow at a right angle of 90 degrees, put a small towel on your armpit, and gently pull the rubber band out of your body without letting the towel fall off your armpit. -At this time, pull slowly to a pain-free range, stop at the top position for 5-10 seconds, and slowly return to the original state. Below is a poster image that can be hung on the wall. This is made as an illustration for easy exercise by hanging it on the wall to prevent shoulder pain.

I never remembered to be the way that the whole body's models would be an enormous part to check too while treating carpal passage issue. Ideally, I can search for the best hand physiotherapy treatment now that I as of now experience torment in the left wrist. It could at this point be an indication of that issue, and I truly need it watched out for by an expert at the earliest entryway before it could disintegrate.
