Self-Stretches for the Shoulders Using a Strap
Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) for the Shoulders. You will find this work effective in treating a myriad of shoulder, neck and hand conditions ranging from carpal tunnel (neurological), thoracic outlet syndrome, rotator cuff sprains/strains, poor posture and really just about anything that affects the hands. Gently assist the stretch to the first signs of tension, release, and repeat. Each stretch should be done in 1-2 sets of 8-10 repetitions. You should not experience soreness after stretching. If you did, you were too aggressive. As a general rule to help guide you, the flexor and internally rotating muscles of the shoulder are typically overly tight and the opposing muscles, the extensors and externally rotating muscles, are usually weak. For a good resolution of your problems, the extensors and externally rotating will require strengthening. The shoulder is rather complex from the perspective of what needs to be stretched and strengthened.
