Strength & Mobility in an often-ignored Shoulder Position (FREE Resource)
The 'rotator cuffs' are involved in the more complex shoulder actions that come up in various asanas: especiall back arches and inversins. Rotator cuffs are a group of 4 muscles (and their tendons) that stabilise the shoulder joint, and also fine-tune many of the movements at the shoulder joint. Because of the nature of the shoulder joint, these muscles can be a little delicate. This is a short tutorial. For a comprehensive understanding of the subject, we recommend that you work with all the sessions of the Short Course 'Shoulder Medley'
Duration: 12 mins.
Level: Beginner, Experienced Beginners. Intermediate
Props needed: any support for the head in a lying down position
Tag words: free rotator cuffs shoulder strengthening shoulders strength and conditioning
Note:
- while these actions and positions are great for overall shoulder health, for shoulder strengthening, some of them might not be suitable if you have a shoulder or neck injury.
- This session in particular targets the ‘rotator cuff’ area that can be delicate, especially in this internally rotated position
