Whether it’s from too much sitting, stress, or strain on your body, stiff shoulders and upper backs seem to affect just about everyone.
This stiffness is not only a problem for day-to-day activity, it also increases your risk for rotator cuff injuries.
That is why we want to give you some exercises to loosen up your shoulders and start moving and feeling better.
Why Shoulder Strength Matters
You may already know this, but your shoulder is the most mobile joint in your body. Your arm is meant to go in all types of directions, but all this mobility comes at a cost...the risk for injury is very high.
So, to offset that risk, it is important to keep your shoulder strong. Not in a “hulk†type fashion, but rather, you want to make sure it is strong in all ranges of motion.
No matter where your arm is, it should be strong, secure, and able to avoid injury.
That is why we have picked 3 of our favorite shoulder exercises to show you today. Check out the video below and see how you can keep your shoulders safe, strong, and functional!
