HOW TO IMPROVE SHOULDER ROTATION

Yesterday, I showed you how to increase shoulder internal rotation (IR) with a 🔴 lacrosse ball release. Some of you will require a little more work though. The 🛏 sleeper position is my go-to for improving IR. The shoulder generally needs stability, so 🔧 cranking on it for long periods of static stretching isn’t always the best idea. I like to do it a little differently. This technique has you using active muscular contraction 💪 to grab more and more range of motion. This way, we increase our active mobility and control without promoting joint laxity. To do it, get in position and ACTIVELY pull your shoulder into internal rotation and hold for 3 seconds. Then put your hand on your wrist and push 🔙 back against it for 10 seconds. Relax everything and push the shoulder further into the stretch. Then repeat the process for a total of 15 reps. Start light and find your tolerance, especially if you have rotator cuff issues. This can get pretty intense 😣 by the end. Tag a friend with shoulder pain and share the
