This is a shoulder abduction mobility exercise that utilizes a dowel. Lie down on your back and hold onto a dowel with both hands. Use the healthy arm to push the target hand into tolerable shoulder abduction. Hold the end range for up to 10 seconds and return to starting position.

Structures Involved:

  • Lateral Deltoids

  • Rotator Cuff

    • Supraspinatus

  • Glenohumeral Joint Capsule

  • Upper Trapezius

Related Conditions:

  • Frozen Shoulder

  • Upper Trapezius Strain

  • Lateral Deltoid Strain

  • AC Joint Sprain

  • Supraspinatus Strain

  • Rotator Cuff Tear

  • Rotator Cuff Tendinitis / Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy / Rotator Cuff Tendinosus
