Shoulder Mobility & Rotator Cuff Strengthening

Rotator cuff related shoulder pain can often present in those who regularly perform overhead activities like swimming, water polo, martial arts and crossfit.

Research suggests up to half of people may still experience symptoms 6-12 months after original onset! That's why it's so important to get on top of any shoulder niggles early on. Load management and building shoulder mobility and rotator cuff strength can help reduce the risk of ongoing symptoms.

We’ve put together this shoulder exercise program that includes commonly used exercises for mobility and rotator cuff conditioning. Many people complete these exercises two to three times per week and progress gradually over 6–12 weeks, depending on comfort and tolerance.
