| Purpose: |
To gain range of motion of the shoulder. |
| Start Position: |
Sit on the edge of a stool or chair in front of a large table; put a towel on top of the table directly in front
of you and place both arms on top of the towel. |
| Action: |
Slide the towel forward along the top of the table by bending at your waist "hip-hinge" and shift your
body weight forward; reach out as far as you can and return to the start position. |
| Parameters: |
Repeat movement 20-25 times |
| Tips: |
Perform each stretch slowly and gently, working towards a moderate stretch; keep a neutral position with your low
back (movement of the trunk should be isolated only at the hips); do not let your shoulders elevate towards your
ears; let the movement of your trunk generate the shoulder motion. |
