Shoulder Abduction Table Slide

Written By David Song

SHOULDER ABDUCTION TABLE SLIDE

This is an assisted active range of motion exercise that is focused on improving shoulder abduction. Start by sitting next to a table so that your shoulders are 90 degrees to the edge with your hand placed on the table. Lean to the side while simultaneously sliding your hand out directly beside you. You may engage the rotator cuff by pressing downwards with your hand while sliding out - this is more easily done with a hand towel placed underneath your hand. Maintain the downward pressure as you slide your arm back in while returning to an upright sit position.

Muscles Involved:

  • Rotator Cuff

Related Conditions:

  • Rotator Cuff Tear

  • Rotator Cuff Tendinitis / Tendinosis

  • Shoulder Impingement

  • Dynamic Shoulder Instability

  • Frozen Shoulder

  • Acromioclavicular Joint Sprain / AC Joint Sprain
