Shoulder Mobility Exercise – Part 2

Dr. Clayton Roach: Next one, you will be on your side. It’s hard to use the ArcGIS. You’re going to be using it, but you’re going to rest your head here—same thing. You’re going to be holding this down.

Dr. Ben Boudreau: Keeping the arm tucked in here. Right next to your rib cage.

Dr. Clayton Roach: And you’re going to rotate this way externally.

Dr. Ben Boudreau: Now, again, it doesn’t matter how firm your band is. This is tough. It’s tough. And you’re just locking that arm in. And if that arm stays down, you’ll create a lot of tension. You don’t need an intense band, a very firm band, to do this exercise. You could easily do this with a light band, and it’s about control.

Dr. Clayton Roach: No expensive gym membership here, right?

Dr. Ben Boudreau: Exactly. And if you keep this arm excellent and tucked in and you’re rotating through your elbow and shoulder, you should feel a nice squeeze at the back and those rotator cuff muscles.

Dr. Clayton Roach: Absolutely. So here we’re doing ten, three times. So ten repetitions, three sets.
