Shoulder Wall Climb Stretch Demonstration - Physical Therapy Exercises

TSAOG Physical Therapist Cheryl Obregon demonstrates the Shoulder Wall Climb Stretch. Visit www.TSAOG.com for more information.

Transcript:
As you do the wall climbs you want to make sure that you are facing directly towards the wall. You want to make sure that your body isn't rotating from one side to another, you also want to stand less than arm's length away from the wall, this will ensure that your elbow and shoulder remain in a relaxed position. As you gently start to climb up the wall with your fingers, you want to go up to the point where you feel a mild to moderate stretch and not pain. As you reach that point you want to make sure you that your arms stay relaxed and your shoulder isn't hiking or body is turning away or leaning towards the side. Once you get to the point of a good stretch, you want to hold that position for approximately 5 - 10 seconds, and then gently and slowly crawl down back down the wall with your fingers. You want to repeat this process for about 5 minutes.
