Banded Full Can Raise

BANDED FULL CAN RAISE

The banded full 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 underhand grip (palms facing forwards) 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
