Isometric Shoulder External Rotation
This is an excellent way to activate shoulder external rotators while keeping the shoulder in a safe position. Isometric exercises simply mean that your joint is not moving, but all of the muscles that create a specific movement at the joint are active. Isometric shoulder external rotation is particularly useful, as this movement is often very limited during rotator cuff injuries.
Isometric Shoulder Abduction
This is an excellent way to activate shoulder abductors while keeping the shoulder in a safe position. Isometric shoulder abduction is particularly useful, as this movement is often very limited during rotator cuff injuries.
Medial Scapula Rolling
These exercises are trying to “loosen up” the muscles between the inside edge of your shoulder blade (scapula) and the spine. Some of these muscles include the rhomboids, middle and lower trapezius, and paraspinal muscle group.
Posterior Shoulder Rolling
These exercises are trying to “loosen up” the posterior shoulder muscles (posterior deltoid, infraspinatus, teres minor, teres major and latissimus dorsi) using a lacrosse ball.
