The urban jungle contains many forms of furniture for relaxation and comfortable means of transportation. But life in the urban jungle can be largely sedentary and has few opportunities to hang.
Hanging is foundational to grip and pulling strength. But climbing, hanging, and vertical pulling are seldom a part of modern life. At best we may do a few sets of pull ups at the gym.
As a result of our sitting, driving, and countless hours in front of a desk we see reshaping of the coraco-acromial-ligament and the acromion. In other words, our lifestyles are creating a deformity in our shoulders.
Dr. John Kirsch, founder of the Kirsch Institute for Shoulder Research is an orthopedic surgeon with more than 25 years of experience with frozen shoulders, torn rotator cuffs and impingement syndrome. So whats his cure for relieving pain from the most common shoulder problems? Hanging from an overhead support.
Five to seven minutes a day of hanging is our goal for healthy shoulders. It may be active hanging like pull ups or swinging, or passive such a basic pronated or neutral grip hang. It does not need to be done all at once.
If you have shoulder pain or a past injury you may need some remedial work before hanging is appropriate.
