Eccentric Supine 90/90 Shoulder External Rotation - Band
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Start by lying on your back looping a band around the bottom of one of your feet. Hold onto the other end of the band with the hand on the same side. Bring your elbow up straight out from your shoulder. Release the tension in the band by bending your knee up as you rotate your arm back creating an “L” shape on the ground. Straighten your leg to create tension in the band as you let the band rotate your shoulder back down, slowly.
- FEEL: You should feel the muscles in your shoulder working.
- COMPENSATION: Keep the elbow out from your shoulder and that 90 degree bend the whole time. Make sure to only have tension in the band as the elbow rotates up, not back.
