MONSTER BAND SHOULDER OPENER

The monster band shoulder opener exercise is used to increase shoulder internal rotation and to stretch out the chest. Start by looping a band around the front of your shoulder and anchor the other end of the band to a stable object behind you. Place your hand behind your low back and step forwards to add tension to the band. Begin to relax the chest and shoulder and allow the band to pull your shoulder backwards. Hold this stretch for up to 20 seconds.

Muscles involved:

  • pectoralis minor

  • pectoralis major

  • anterior deltoid

Related conditions:
