Shoulder Flexion Table Slide

Written By David Song

SHOULDER FLEXION TABLE SLIDE

This is an assisted active range of motion exercise that is focused on improving shoulder flexion. Start by sitting in front of a table so that your chest is in line with the edge and place your hand on the table. Keep your hand and elbow in line with shoulder directly in front of you. Lean forwards while simultaneously sliding your hand out. 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
