Banded Empty Can Raise

Written By David Song

BANDED EMPTY CAN RAISE

The banded empty can raise exercise is used to strengthen the muscles responsible for shoulder abduction. Start by stepping on a band to anchor it down to the floor. While keeping the spine in neutral alignment, abduct the shoulder to stretch the band towards the ceiling. Hold the free end of the band with an overhand grip (palms facing backwards) and maintain this wrist orientation during the entire exercise. Raise the arm to roughly shoulder height and lower back down to starting position (hand starting near the front of your groin).

Muscles involved:

  • supraspinatus

  • lateral deltoid

Related conditions:

  • deltoid strain

  • supraspinatus strain / supraspinatus tear

  • supraspinatus tendinitis / tendonitis

  • rotator cuff tendonitis

  • dynamic shoulder instability

  • glenohumeral labral tear

  • shoulder dislocation / shoulder subluxation
