    by Kevin Roberts, ATC, M.Ed.

The following 5 Isometric Exercises comprise our Phase III program in this series. All the rules from the last phase apply here as well.

In addition, these "Gripping" Isometrics are pulling the fingers apart as hard as possible while pinching the shoulder blades hard.
