5 Powerful Exercises to Boost Rotator Cuff Strength and Shoulder Mobility
✅ Pectoral Muscle Stretching – Loosens up tight chest muscles that can pull the shoulders forward, improving posture and reducing strain on the rotator cuff.
✅ Trigger Point Release for Rotator Cuff – Focuses on releasing tension and knots in the rotator cuff muscles (especially infraspinatus and teres minor) using tools like a massage ball or foam roller to reduce pain and improve mobility.
✅ Wall Clocks Exercise – Performed by moving your arm in a clock-like motion on the wall, this exercise improves shoulder joint range of motion and coordination.
✅ Pull Back with Bands – Strengthens the posterior shoulder and rotator cuff muscles by pulling resistance bands backward, enhancing stability and support around the shoulder joint.
✅ Pull-Ups – A compound exercise that engages the rotator cuff muscles along with the lats and biceps, promoting shoulder strength and functional mobility. (Can be modified for beginners with band assistance.)
