I Glide

Shoulder
Written By David Song

“I” GLIDE

This is a serratus anterior and rotator cuff strengthening exercise that uses your body weight and gravity to add load to the shoulder joint. Start by placing your hand against the wall at shoulder height. Then slowly lean in forwards while sliding your hand up the wall. It is ideal to use a hand towel during this exercise to encourage more sliding during this exercise. Lean in without bending at the hips - a common mistake is to only bend your upper body forwards as your buttock sticks out. Return to standing position by sliding the hand back downwards. Do not use momentum by leaning back with the hips, use your shoulder strength to get your back to starting position.

Muscles Involved:

  • Rotator Cuff

  • Serratus Anterior

  • Latissimus Dorsi

Related Conditions:
