Heres a couple SHOULDER MOBILITY drills I do fairly often to maintain adequate range of motion. Decreased shoulder mobility can result in neck/back pain and rotator cuff injuries. 1) Using a dowel, PVC pipe, broomstick or anything similar slowly walk your hands toward each other until they can almost touch. Hold this position for 30 seconds to 1 minute. 2) Grip the same dowel between your thumb and index finger. Space your hands apart a good distance and bring the dowel back and forth over your head. Try to keep the arms straight during the entire movement. *Discontinue this exercise if you have any sharp pain. Keep in mind that stretching and mobility exercises are NOT always the best way to improve shoulder (glenohumeral joint) range of motion. Quite frequently the correction is with breathing patterns, thoracic spine mobility, or scapular stability.
