Side Lean Wall Slide

ShoulderBack
Written By David Song

SIDE LEAN WALL SLIDE

This is a strengthening and active assisted shoulder abduction to resisted adduction exercise. Start by aligning your body to standing in the direction parallel to the wall. Stand at arm’s length from the wall with your palm on a towel or slider disk. Slowly lean towards the wall while simultaneously sliding the hand up the wall. Then return the body back to standing position by pushing the hand downwards on the wall. Do not use momentum from the hips to return to standing position but instead rely on the downward pull of the arm to push the body to an upright position.

Muscles Involved:

  • Latissimus Dorsi

  • Teres Major

Related Conditions:

  • Rotator Cuff Tendinitis / Rotator Cuff Tear

  • Medial Border Scapular Winging / Scapular Dyskinesia
