🧠Think about it Thursday🧠 Many don’t know but your grip strength and shoulder strength are strongly correlated! Your grip strength measures can indicate the strength and health of your Rotator Cuff. Whether you have a Rotator Cuff injury or any type of labral involvement for your shoulder, emphasizing stabilization exercises such as these can help get your shoulder back to feeling better quicker, and safely. Just look at Reed’s grip strength increase from some of the exercises! #rehabilitation #shoulder #gripstrength #physicaltherapy

A hip bridge variation! This version of hip bridges involves using sliders under your feet. If you don't have sliders, try using towels on a hard surface! This exercise promotes strength particularly in your glutes and hamstrings! Laying on your back with your knees bent and feet on sliders or towels, slowly lift your hips up. While holding your hips up, slowly slide one leg down towards the ground, and then back up towards your original position. Repeat with the other leg for a total of 10-15 reps, alternating legs. Make sure to hold those hips up and not let them drop during the leg movement!!!

Leg lowers! This exercise works and helps to stretch your hamstring muscles, making them looser, and more flexible. Laying on the ground by a doorway, place your left leg on the wall.

I,Y,T's. This exercise helps strengthen your shoulders and upper back! It can be done on the floor or a stability ball!

Then move your arms a little further apart into a Y shape. Lift again and hold for 2 counts. Finally, bring your arms around to your sides, perpendicular from your body in a T-shape. Again lift, hold, and bring down. Repeat 10-15 times.

Calf raises! These help strengthen your muscles in your calves for walking and running!
