Dr. Riley:
This drill is called reach roll and lift. This is a great drill for not only improving shoulder mobility, but also stabilizing your scapula. So your scapula is your shoulder blade. We want to work on scapulothoracic stabilization. A lot of folks that have rotator cuff issues, maybe issues with mobility with their shoulders, this is a good drill. So Brie’s going to get down, sit back on her heels, locking her low back in. Her forehead is going to be on her fist there. She’s going to work on sliding her palm straight out. We’re going to flip the hand all the way over. Might be fairly challenging. Keeping that arm straight, we’re going to lift. So we’re not only working on a lot of mobility within the shoulder, we’re also going to work on stabilizing the scapula and then up. If you have any pain with this drill, we recommend that you obviously don’t do it, but it is a good drill to start to stabilize that scapula, work on some mobility as well. So this is reach, roll, and lift.
