Shoulder Exercises

Shoulder exercises improve strength, stability, and posture. They support daily movements like lifting and reaching, reduce injury risk, and enhance upper body performance. Strong shoulders also protect the rotator cuff and help maintain healthy joint function.

External rotation with a raise, this helps strengthen rotator cuff and serratus anterior strength, which improves shoulder mobility and health

​

Starting Position:

  1. With elbows at your side and bent at 90 degrees.

  2. Hold a resistance band in your hand with hands turned out farther than your elbows. 

Movement:

  1. Raise your arm up by keeping your hands out more than your elbows.

  2. Raise till your elbows are at shoulder height. 

  3. Lower back to the starting position. 

Wrist curls are a simple but effective exercise that target the forearm flexor muscles, helping to build wrist strength, improve grip, and support elbow and wrist stability.

Starting Position:

  • Sit on a bench or chair with a light dumbbell or barbell in hand, palm facing up.

  • Rest your forearm on your thigh or a bench, with your wrist just past the edge and hand hanging down.

  • Let the weight roll slightly down into your fingers, then curl your wrist upward to lift the weight.

  • Squeeze at the top, then lower slowly with control.

The serratus anterior glide is a mobility and activation exercise designed to engage the serratus anterior—a key muscle in scapular (shoulder blade) movement and stability. It’s often used in rehab, posture correction, and shoulder warm-ups to promote healthy shoulder mechanics and prevent impingement.
- Place your hand beside the head and have your elbow pointing straight forward
- Move your hand up the wall while keeping the elbow pointing forward 
- Lower once you are unable to keep the elbow straight forward
- Don't allow the hand to drift over the head 
- Don't let the elbow point out to the side ​
