Resistance Band Scaption

Physiotherapy in West Vancouver for Shoulder

Anchor one end of a resistane band on the ground (e.g. using your foot). Stand with the resistance band in your right hand, and your arm extended at your side with a slight bend in the elbow.  Position your shoulder midway between the front and side of your body with your thumb pointing down.

Lift your right shoulder to 45°-50° (well below shoulder height), while keeping your thumb pointed down. Lower slowly to the starting position. Breathe throughout the exercise. Hold and repeat as advised by a physiotherapist at West Vancouver Sports and Orthopedic Physiotherapy.
