DOWEL SHOULDER INTERNAL ROTATION

The dowel shoulder internal rotation exercise is an assisted stretch that improves flexibility. This exercise requires a dowel or any other type of stick to complete the exercise. Start by raising the arm to 90 degrees abduction and rotate the shoulder internally by pointing your first towards the floor. Hold onto the dowel with it placed behind the behind rather than in the front. Use the other arm to pull the stick forwards to drive your shoulder into more internal rotation. Be sure to stick to pain free ranges of motion.

Muscles involved:

  • rotator cuff

    • infraspinatus

    • teres minor

Related conditions:

  • rotator cuff tendinitis / rotator cuff tendinopathy

  • shoulder impingement

  • frozen shoulder / adhesive capsulitis
