SHOULDER HALO

This is a dynamic shoulder stability exercise. You may alternatively use a kettlebell or dumbbell if you do not have access to a weight plate. This may be done seated (easier) or standing. Hold a weight plate at chest height and raise it up to your head height. Circulate it around your head and return to starting position. Alternate between going clockwise and counter-clockwise.

Muscles Involved:

  • Deltoids

  • Rotator Cuff

  • Upper Trapezius

  • Levator Scapulae

  • Rhomboids

  • Serratus Anterior

Related Conditions:

  • Shoulder Impingement

  • Rotator Cuff Tear (late stage recovery)

  • Strength and Conditioning

  • Overhead Squat Warm Up

  • Scapular Dyskinesis / Dyskinesia

  • Scapular Winging

  • Dynamic Shoulder Instability

  • Posterior Capsule Impingement
