How to perform it

  1. 1Kneel tall with your hips over your knees and hold a light weight or use bodyweight, then perform controlled articular rotations of the shoulder by moving the arm through its full circumferential range — forward flexion, external rotation, abduction, extension, and internal rotation. Move slowly and pause in restricted zones to breathe and earn more range, performing 3-5 circles in each direction per side. Avoid compensating through the thoracic spine or elevating the shoulder — isolate the movement to the glenohumeral joint and feel the entire shoulder capsule being mobilized.
