Body Building can also take the form of physical therapy to cure an injury.
Body Building need not only be used to make yourself appear as Mr.
Universe, if that is what the top physical specimen is now called.
A year or two back there was this individual who tore his right rotators cuff in a motorcycle accident.
He went through the physical therapy covered by his insurance.
But, he wanted faster results.
In addition to the exercises which were planned by the physical therapists, and they did serve a purpose, he purchased dumbbells in pairs.
They were purchased in pairs to be used when the right shoulder was strong enough.
The left shoulder would be exercised too, avoiding its neglect.
He wanted to accelerate the cure of his ailment without surgery.
Sure he went through the leaning on the wall and walking up the wall exercises with his fingers, but also used the dumbbells faithfully.
The exercises used, entailed the holding out of his right arm to the side and the front in a straight position and do 10 lifts, 3 times.
First a 1 pound weight was used moving up to 5 pounds.
At first the arm when raised to the right side would not move too high.
After a couple of months the arm could reach shoulder height when lifted from both the front and the side.
Soon thereafter the shoulder was back to its original condition, prior to the motorcycle going down.
Body Building is essential for good general health, but not to be shunned for the repair of such parts of the body as the shoulder, due to a torn rotation cuff.
The key to the repair of the injured body part is an interest to do the exercises, even though progress cannot be seen on a daily basis.
Keep up the effort and you will ultimately be rewarded with better health.
