Wall Crawl
WALL CRAWL
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 elbows on a wall. Start with your hands just below shoulder height. Slowly slide your hand outwards and upwards in a C-shaped pattern one hand at a time, and continue to move upwards until you can’t reach higher without lifting the elbows off of the wall. Repeat this motion downwards back to starting position. You may alternatively hold a different type of exercise band in your hands if you don’t have a mini band.
