Shoulder stability exercises for rotator cuff tear, tendonitis, & impingement don’t tend to have much focus on stabilising the shoulder joint while you’re actually doing the exercise. They tend to focus on the larger motions of the Infraspinatus and Teres Minor muscles. But if your ultimate goal is to stabilise the head of the humerus, it makes sense to include a component of that in your rotator cuff rehab.
When a shoulder is unstable, the head of humerus tends to move forward, or up, too much within the joint. So actively retracted the humeral head as you strengthen the cuff muscles makes sense. The bonus of this is that as you do this you’ll naturally strengthen the muscles which tilt the shoulder blade into a more upright position, which help increase space in the shoulder joint too. So here’s how to do it.
