🛑Most rehab stops at bands and light weights…Get creative! Backward bear crawls may be one of the most underrated shoulder exercises.
Here’s why:
✔️ Closed-chain stability → builds joint integrity instead of just isolated strength
✔️ Serratus anterior activation → key for upward rotation + scapular control
✔️ Co-contraction of the rotator cuff → improves dynamic stability
✔️ Load acceptance through the shoulder → teaches your body to handle force
Rehab starts at the scapular level! If you’re missing stuff like this, maybe it’s time to take a different approach. Message us today or schedule with the link in BIO!
