Prone Y-Raise
Written By David Song
PRONE Y-RAISE
This is an end range strengthening exercise for the scapular up-rotators and posterior tilters. Start by lying down on the ground with your arm abducted to roughly 130 to 140 degrees. Use one forearm to cushion your forehead so that the neck can be relaxed during this exercise. While in a thumbs up position, raise your arm towards the ceiling and hold the end range for up to 7 seconds. Focus on the up rotation of the scapula during this exercise to generate this movement.
