Joint laxity increases with repetitive overhead
throwing in many young athletes who do not regularly strengthen both the
rotator cuff and scapula muscles. Today, we are focusing on 4 core
exercises for the shoulder of any overhead athlete.
Exercise #1 Internal Rotation
Exercise #2 External Rotation
Exercise #3 90 ABD 90 External Rotation
(functional movement)
Exercise #4 Scapula Stretch
Combine all 4 exercises and what you have is
a stable shoulder able to withstand the rigors of repetitive
motion, keys to success for any overhead athlete's future in
sport. Joint laxity decreases as total shoulder strength
increases.
