Dr. Clayton Roach: You can explain to me. A lot of people have decreased internal rotation.
Dr. Ben Boudreau: Yes, most people have decreased internal rotation. Now, a lot of us don’t have an increase in the internal rotation unless we’re baseball players unless we’re throwing great, and it requires a lot of internal rotation. And so, a lot of us are lacking that. This exercise is meant to help with that.
Dr. Clayton Roach: More of a stretch. You’re going to be laying down your arms about 90 degrees. You’re going to take the unaffected side hand, and you’re going to push it down on your forearm or wrist. And I can feel that.
Dr. Ben Boudreau: And I bet you can feel it. You should feel it right on the back of your shoulder. Okay. And so, if I go to the top arm here, you should feel it directly in the back. Just underneath here, and now that’s a five-second hold. You’re pushing down and holding this stretch for the capsule at the back for 5 seconds. You’ll repeat that between three to five times a day, to feel the lengthening throughout the back of your shoulder blade.
