SWIMMER

This is a global shoulder mobility exercise. Start by lying down on your stomach and use your forearm to support your head. Place the other arm behind your back and raise it up as much as possible. While maintaining the elevated position slowly raise your arm overhead and reach up and forward as far as tolerable. Slowly return to the hand-behind-back position without letting your arm drop towards the floor.
