Rotator Cuff Conditioning Exercises

The rotator cuff located in the shoulder can be prone to injury due to unconditioned and imbalanced muscles in the shoulder area. A healthy rotator cuff is important for daily movement and also for many functions related to sports activities. Below are some key exercises for strengthening the muscles that support the rotator cuff. If any of these exercises cause an increase in pain or shoulder mobility, please discontinue and contact your physical therapist or orthopedic/sports medicine doctor.
