📖The human shoulder is incredibly complex, we try to not complicate it in the early stages of rehab more than it needs to be.
.
👆The exercises here are the BASICS. They’re not fancy, but when we’re talking non-athletes, they’re simple and effective if done with the right cues. Here are some of our go-to exercises with a couple tips:
.
1️⃣Kettlebell-Row (Works Rhomboids, Lats, Mid Traps)
-Bent-Over supported position
-Driving elbow to the sky
-Ensure not to pull with biceps, or over-extend arm
.
2️⃣Side-Lying Exercise (Works Infraspinatus, Teres Minor)
-Elbow supported -Upper Traps and Neck Relaxed
-Leaning slightly forward with the torso
-Should feel it distinctly in the back of the shoulder
.
3️⃣Full-Can Raise (Works Supraspinatus, Serratus anterior)
-Thumb Up, elbow locked
-Raise arm to just above shoulder height
-Ensure you’re sweeping the shoulder blade up not locking it ‘down and back’
