Thera-Band Shoulder Empty Can Raise
Performing shoulder abduction in the scapular plane helps isolate the rotator cuff.
Instructions:
Begin with one end of the band or tubing stabilized under your foot. Grasp the other end in your hand with slight tension on the band or tubing. Bring your arm slightly in front of your body (about 30 degrees). Lift your arm from your side, keeping your elbow straight and your thumbs down. Stop at shoulder level and slowly return. Do not perform this if it causes shoulder pain. Keep your back straight, and avoid leaning over or shrugging your shoulders.
