Focus:

• Use either a TRX or large stretching band for these movements

• For the first motion, hinge forward and allow the band to pull the arm until you feel a stretch along the backside of the shoulder joint and down into the rib cage area

• For the second stretch, stand up and rotate so your arm is across the chest and you feel a stretch on the backside of the shoulder joint

Suggested Frequency:

Hold for 30 seconds; perform 2-3 sets a day for an active injury. For maintaining shoulder range of motion, perform twice a week

Who should perform this?

Individuals with tightness in the shoulders or injuries to the rotator cuff or related shoulder stabilizers
