Just looking for some feedback on the commonly used sleeper stretch for posterior capsular tightness. As I have played with this stretch over the years I find that patients have a tendency to move away from the ideal stretch position. I have begun to have patients actually 1/4 turn top prone, basically placing their face onto the upper arm. I find it seems to free the scap from the table yet seems to hold it to allow for a nice stretch. Let me know you thoughts. Below is the traditional version.
Love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks
