Shoulder Impingement? Pinching in the shoulder? Changing the way you move and strengthening the shoulder can make a big difference! This exercise will help strengthen the area and create more stability! Make sure to START in a good position. Don’t just blindly lift the shoulder up, make sure that your shoulders are pulled down and slightly back. If you don’t do this, you may increase the impingement. Stop if it is hurting!
Perform 10-15 SLOW reps. Listen to your body.
To do this exercise:
1. Attach a resistance band to a low anchor point. (we like the gangster Crossover Symmetry bands but any will do)
2. Grab the handle with one hand, thumb facing to the ceiling in a “thumbs up” position. You can play with the thumb facing different directions as Andrew demonstrates.
3. Raise arm to shoulder level while maintaining scapula position and NOT shrugging shoulders. The best “angle” to lift the arm at is between 45 and 30 degrees in front of you. So, if you have you arms lifted directly to the side, swing them a little bit more in front of you.
4. Think about rotating the armpits forward and up to the ceiling. This will help with the scapular positioning and will help prevent shrugging.
5. Do this slowly. Pause at the top. Repeat.
