2. ELASTIC BAND - GLENOHUMERAL CENTRATED DISTRACTION
By creating a passive distraction force through the wrist, elbow and shoulder joints, the bio-properties
of reflex stabilization are going to kick in, turning on all available joint stabilizers in the upper extremity
kinetic chain!
Once you feel enough tension
through the band to illicit the
reflex we are looking for, proceed
to rotating your shoulder joint
through cyclical motion. This
movement will warm up the joint,
lubricating it in the process for
decreased wear and tear.
3. RMT CLUB LOADED SPEED-BUMP Y-T-W
The Y-T-W complex, once the cornerstone of shoulder rehabilitation and training, takes on a whole
new look and feel with the utilization of the RMT Club.
Again using the internally
shifting weight of the club,
speed bumps are going to
be placed into each of the
three shoulder specific
movement. These speed
bumps ensure maximal
muscular stability recruitment
and clean up weak spots in
the kinetic chain important for
long-term shoulder health.
