does what I wrote have another meaning, or is it plain wrong?

By reading quickly thru the posts I simply did not get it, my fault
Thanks for the recommendations!From the wall angels it is clear just how big problem I have with mobility. I've been doing them for a while, and there is no way I can keep my forearms to the wall and having any kind of range of motion.

I'm slowly improving. I've been told that it will take around 6 months of diligent work to get a normal range of motion, ok motor control and decent activation.
It probably took me a year of frequent (sessions once or twice a week) stetching before I found a decent improvement in my overhead wall angel type range of motion. Now it takes a little warm up and I can get the back of my hands on floor above my head, straight arms, shoulders in a good position. Before I started, my hands were probably a foot off the floor or something. Takes a while.
I can do the full wall angel with hands flat on the wall or floor bit find that my wrists aren't flat once I go below should height, they then lift off while the hands stay in contact with the wall/floor. Been working on getting these flat but not sure after the posts above whether this is a weakness? Does anyone else find this? Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Sent from my GT-I9195 using TapatalkHi Chris,This is interesting as if I do a wall angel, I find that my left wrist (the side on which I have a history of shoulder impingement) comes off the wall when I go above shoulder height. I simply can't make it touch no matter how hard I try. I suspect for both of us it is areas of specific tightness/weakness/lack of proprioception/inflexibility that we should try to work out.Great thread for a habitual shoulder sufferer.Exercises that I have found work in combination:- Theraband turnouts with arm at different angles (theraband round door handle, grab end, with hand facing towards handle, turn away keeping elbow locked in position, rotating around shoulder joint) - upper arm vertical against chest, starting position hand across body (standard), upper arm parallel to ground, upper arm almost vertical. The last one was recommended by a physio as being more specific to climbing, with the standard version only useful for early stage rehab.- Theraband front raises. Grab theraband in middle with hands close together at waist height, turn hands out stretching theraband until they are about hip width apart. Lock shoulder blades down and pinch together slightly. Raise hands in front of you with straight arms until vertical over head, repeat. Focus is on keeping shoulder blades down and pinched together rather than allowing them to rise or wing out. Start with an easy theraband - I found this knackering to start with.- Prone arm lifts. Lie on your face with your head over the edge of a bed (so you can breathe. At physio you do this on their table with a facehole in, have to improvise at home). Hands by your side, palms facing up. Press shoulder blades down and pinch together slightly, which should lift them off bed. Lift hands slowly by your side to about 30 degrees. Hold for 10 seconds. Rest. Repeat. Progressions are to turn palms to face forward, and do 'angel' motions, eventual aim being to lift arms and raise in an arc from by legs to above head whilst keeping your shoulders in correct position.-
