DOWEL SHOULDER EXTERNAL ROTATION STRETCH

This is an dowel assisted exercise that aims to improve passive external rotation in the shoulder joint. Hold a broomstick or dowel with your arm at 90 degrees shoulder flexion and elbow flexion. The stick shoulder be held on the outer aspect of your arm. Use your other hand to pull the dowel from below to stretch the shoulder in external rotation.

Muscles Involved:

  • Rotator Cuff (Subscapularis)

  • Posterior Capsule

  • Latissimus Dorsi

  • Teres Major

  • Pectoralis Minor

  • Pectoralis Major

Related Conditions:

  • Posterior Capsule Impingement

  • Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy

  • Shoulder Impingement

  • Secondary Mechanical Shoulder Pain

  • Frozen Shoulder
