How to Stretch the External Rotation of Your Shoulder

Tight or stiff shoulders may be the result of:

a shoulder injury
shoulder surgery
long-term overuse
absolutely no reason at all – a condition known as “frozen shoulder” or adhesive capsulitis

This video shows how the Rotater can be used to increase your shoulder flexibility – specifically, the external rotation of your shoulder. These shoulder stretches:

are very simple
duplicate many of the same shoulder exercises that are a part of most shoulder rehab protocols
are used in physical therapy clinics everyday
are used by athletic trainers to increase the shoulder flexibility and range of motion of their athletes

“The Rotater has proved to be a valuable adjunct to use in caring for my shoulder patients. Whereas, teaching patients self-administered flexibility routines for the shoulder rotators has always been somewhat of a challenge, the easy to use Rotater now allows me to teach patients a simple and very effective way to perform self-stretching routines. Furthermore, I can now send them home with a device, and feel confident that they will continue to stretch in an appropriate manner.”
