HANGING LATERAL RAISE

This is a lateral deltoid and upper trapezius strengthening exercise. Hold a stable pole, door frame or squat rack and lean to one side. Raise the arm up within the scapular plane which is 30 degrees forward from the body. Raise the arm up to roughly shoulder height and slowly lower the arm. This exercise uses the side lean to increase the amount of workable shoulder abduction.

Muscles Involved:

  • Lateral Deltoid

  • Upper Trapezius

  • Supraspinatus

Related Conditions:

  • Elevated First Rib Dysfunction

  • Shoulder Impingement

  • Deltoid Strain

  • Upper Trapezius Myofascial Pain Syndrome

  • Strength Training
