Most martial arts will ask a lot friction on the joints.\nSo it will be not a bad idea to ask a couple of doctors first what the problem really is and find out what movements will stimulate the strength in that joint.\nTry a chiropractor they will tell you how to do this.\n\ndon't go for the most spectacular martial arts they will give you stress on the joints.\n\n\nYoga will be the best thing to choose in your case,\n this because yoga will not put any pressure on the points you don't want to have it on\nYoga is a balance between you and your body, so if it doesn't feel good you just don't do it.\n\nOh and you will find a lot of Tai Chi exercises and workshops on the internet these days.\nYou can do so many things just by visiting the right sites and consulting the right people, so it does not have to cost you more than one hour internet fora week of training.\nStill do this in consult of your doctor, this because your problem is really seious and will not go better when you take the wrong advice.\n\nTake care of it, it is a nasty shoulder you have/\n\nGood luck

Check with a doctor. Pilates exercises are great for posture but you also spend a lot of time on your back. I would definitely stay away from the stretches where you curl up into a ball and roll along your entire vertebrae (unless of course doc says its ok).

There are a few things you can buy for that.  Hand grips and there's one called Mastergrip (I think) You hold it with your fingers and push down on it.  Also those stress balls may help.  They also make a kind of clay they use in Physical therapy to strengthen the muscles in your hands.

my fiance has an issue with her shoulder.  What I usually do is have her stretch it out (or I do it for her if it hurts too bad) Put a heating pack on it to relax the muscles.  \nIf some one can message it for you that would be of help to you as well.  \nWhat you also might want to try is cream with st. johns wart or hot pepper.  i know it sounds crazy but both have anti-inflammitory properties and pain relieving properties as well.  One thing you could try is to mash a hot pepper.  take a cold cream, hand lotion or the like.  Take the mashed pepper and add some a little at a time til its pink. (not red because it will irritate the skin due to the fact that its too strong for our skin to handle in that amount.) and rub the now pink cream along the effected area.  \nSt Johns Wart added to almond or olive oil also works great.  Add st johns wart ot the oil.  let stand for a few hours strain and apply.  make sure when you use this method you completely relax the area so it can work.  I hope this helps you out.

A simple exercise you can do at home for no cost is to stand up and hold a wooden chair by the legs in your hands.  Holding your arms forward, bent at the elbow, raise and lower the chair without moving your arms, only your wrists.  Raist the chair until it touches your forehead and then lower it almost until the top of the chair touches the floor and repeat over and over and over.  I've played baseball and tennis all my life and this simple exercise helped me develop an iron-like grip and solid as steel forearms.  You will increase the amount of reps you can do each day, but before you will be able to do nearly 100.  Every day at this and you will start to see an IMMEDIATE difference.

Yoga is a great way to stretch but it is sooo much more. It builds strength, balance, and spiritual connection. Yoga is the fountain of youth. There are different types of yoga depending on your goals. There are yoga styles with a heated studio like Bikram and Ashtanga which allow you to go really deep into the poses because you are already warmed up. The style I practice is called Anusara which is focused on alignment so the chances of injury are very little. Check with your local studio and make sure your instructor knows about your ability level and any injuries. \nJust to add to the other comments, Pilates is about strengthening your core more than about flexibility. Yoga is better for flexibility.\nNamaste!

For butterfly you want your shoulders to be loose so you actually don't want to do any heavy weight lifting to build your shoulders. Weight lifting will bulk up your shoulders and you may lose flexibility. What I suggest is to do really high repetition of shoulder press, bent over rows, and straight arm raises with really light weights in the off season. Use light weights like canned goods or some thing to give you some resistance but not a weight that you will struggle with. Start with 4 sets of 50 reps. If it's too easy increase the number of reps or go a little heavier. Gradually increase the number of reps. When your season starts taper down and gradually stop any lifting. Your swimming should be giving your shoulders a sufficient work out and you don't want to put too much strain on your rotator cuff or shoulder ligaments.\n\nWhat you do want to build through weight training is your back muscles. This is what will give you the power in your stroke not your shoulders.

Lay down on the floor, flat on your back. Then lift your shoulders and neck forward slightly to feel your neck tighten up. Another exercise is to look forward, towards an object, keep your neck straight and lift your chin up and out, hold for a few seconds and return to normal. Do 2-3 sets of these exercises and set the reps to what you feel comfortable and suitable for your time allotted. Don't over do it or you will cause muscle strainand thats painful. But this will h elp you out with repition. Good luck.

Maintaining proper posture may seem challenging at first, but the more you practice, the easier it will become. \nDo back and abdominal exercises on a regular basis. These exercises will strengthen the muscles that help maintain proper posture. \nThere is not a quick cure- it will take to impove and will not be perfect.

Joints/bones I pop:\n\nKnuckles\nWrists\nElbows\nNeck\nKnees\nAnkles\nToes\nSpine\nBreastbone\n\nYou can't technically pop shoulders, but sometimes I'll stretch until I feel the bone pull out of the rotator cuff a little, too.

Work on stretching your upper body, not just before your round, but on a daily basis, to create more flexibility in your shoulders, neck and even your lower back. Gradually, that extra flexibility will begin to show itself in a better shoulder turn.\nFor some exercises, check out the following web site:

First thing you wanna do is work on your shoulders.simple dumb-bell raises-bend arm at elbow lift straight up, another is butterfly exercise, bend at the knees usin dumb-bells, like a butterfly -bring your arms out like your flying, bending your arm. Push ups are good also, working out your triceps. Another good exercise is find a couch, chair, your bed.use the edge of it like your sitting, but move so your hands are behind you on the bed and go up an up raising yourself, that works your triceps. Another good exercise for your wrists use get a string a put a 5lb weight on it, and extend your hands, and rolling up the string using your wrists, then unroll, and repeat. These are some good ones. What will really help is long tossing, build up your arm strenggh. Good luck
