Shoulder Is - Hip Hinge, Band

Is this for yourself or for a patient?

  • HOW: Anchor bands above your head. Have a band in each hand as your feet are shoulder width apart and you have a slight bend in your knees. Hinge forward at the hips with your arms above you holding tension in the band. From here, pull the bands down at your side with your palms facing down. Slowly bring the bands back up and repeat for the prescribed amount of reps. 
  • FEEL: You should feel the muscles in your shoulder and behind them working. 
  • COMPENSATION: Maintain the hip hinge while bringing the bands down. Keep your elbows straight.
