Are you tired of waking up to the discomfort of stiff shoulders, or finding yourself wincing with every movement? You’re not alone. Shoulder pain and stiffness can be a frustrating obstacle, impacting everything from daily tasks to your overall quality of life. But fear not – relief may be closer than you think.
In this guide, we’ll explore a range of shoulder exercises designed to alleviate pain and improve flexibility.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, battling chronic stiffness, or simply seeking to enhance your shoulder health, these exercises offer a pathway to greater comfort and mobility.
So, grab a comfortable spot, roll out your exercise mat, and let’s embark on a journey to stronger, more supple shoulders together.
These are some of my favorite exercises that I utilize as part of my shoulder care series. Now by no means is this all encompassing, for instance this program has some major changes for my throwing athletes (that will be a future post!) vs Crossfit and lifting community.
Turkish Roll is one of my favorite exercises as it really challenges shoulder stability and mobility. In particular it helps individuals to learn how to move their body around their shoulder instead of the other way around. I recommend starting with a light weight and working to be perpendicular with the floor.
Serratus plank: The shoulder blade often doesn’t get the same attention as the shoulder when in reality they work together. Serratus plank is a great foundational movement to help build scapular strength, and it’s very easy to progress this exercise. Below I have included a few progressions to try out!
Overhead carry (kettlebell). Overhead carry itself is a great exercise; however making a minor adjustment takes it to the next level. I recommend dropping the weight and carrying it ball side up. The ball being up forces your shoulder to stabilize in a 360 degree arc making it ideal for overhead stability.
