Stability & Strength

This is an instructional video to correctly demonstrate Shoulder lateral rotation in neutral.

The content in this video is provided for general information purposes only and is not meant to replace a physiotherapy or medical consultation.

Step by Step

This is a good starting exercise for strengthening your shoulder. Research has found that it targets infraspinatus muscle, which is usually weak with shoulder injury.
Therefore it is a great exercise for shoulder rehabilitation.
Standing in a good posture with your elbow bent to 90 degrees and a towel being gently squeezed between your elbow and your hip.
Rotate the arm outwards to take your hand out to the side and return back to the stomach slowly with the resistance of an exercise band
Repeat 10 times and repeat for 3 sets in total
When it becomes easier add more tension to the band or get a harder band resistance and over time gradually increase this as long as your technique is correct.
