Written By David Song

SPIDER WALL WALK

This is a shoulder stability exercise that is used to strengthen the rotator cuff and scapular protractors. Loop a mini band around your hands or wrists and place your fingers on a wall. Start with your hands just below shoulder height and with a soft bend in the elbows. Slowly lift your hand up one hand at a time to crawl them up the wall, and return them back down to starting position to complete a repetition.

Muscles Involved:

  • Rotator Cuff

  • Serratus Anterior

  • Lower Trapezius

  • Upper Trapezius

Related Conditions:

  • Rotator Cuff Tendinitis / Rotator Cuff Tear

  • Medial Border Scapular Winging / Scapular Dyskinesia

  • Subacromial Impingement / Shoulder Impingement

  • Dynamic Shoulder Instability

  • AC Joint Sprain

  • Osteolysis of the Distal Clavicle
