Internal Rotator Strengthening Exercise- Begin by tying a piece of elastic exercise
material, such as surgical tubing or Thera-Band, to a
doorknob.
- Stand or sit with your shoulder relaxed and your elbow
bent 90 degrees. Your upper arm should rest comfortably against your side. You
can squeeze a rolled towel between your elbow and your body for comfort and to
help keep your arm at your side.
- Hold one end of the elastic band
in the hand of the affected arm.
- Slowly rotate your forearm toward your
body until it touches your belly. Slowly move it back to where you started.
- Keep your elbow and upper arm
firmly tucked against the towel roll or the side of your body during this
movement.
- Repeat 8 to 12 times.
