Shoulder Mobility

Hey Guys,

I have had a lot of climbers and many of my athletes ask me about improving shoulder range of motion lately.  So I threw together a short vid with some soft tissue work, stretching, and a couple of pre-hab exercises.  Enjoy and stay healthy!

 

Soft Tissue: Work through sore spots, spend as much time on an area as is needed.

Stretch: Hold stretches for 20 to 30 seconds.

Pre-Hab:
Dowel Dislocations 2x15
9090 Active 2x12ea (Keep Knee Down)
Wall Shoulder Slides 2x8-10 (Wrists and Elbows Against Wall)
