Sometimes you just have to stay the course and give it time. Answer the above and maybe we can come up with something.

The PT's aren't saying what is promoting the bicep issue. Howver during ART sessions the PT's felt that the problem was the bicep as much as the shoulder. I can also tell you that MRI's have shown a mild impingement. I can tell you that I did WAY TOO MUCH bench pressing in my youth, and I now have the rounded shoulder look. I have had this problem for several years now. I have focused on my back muscles, and have done no bench presses in some time.

ART has been performed on the rotator cuff muscles, pec muscles, and my biceps. ART has defiently helped my situation.

I am currently doing a movement prep routine for my warmup, rotator cuff exercises, and some form of push/pull exercises that I vary. No overhead movements. Many of the push/pull exercises are being done with therabands for resistance. I also do squats or lunge variations with DB's. However, there is very little traditional stretching in the program.

I don't know what the future is in terms of exercises or stretches. I know that I want to continue to progress my rehab. Unfortuneately, ART and future PR sessions are expensive, so any advice is appreciated.
