Inferior Capsule Stretch

Professional Rationale
Very specific inferior capsule stretch for those patients with specific or gross capsular tightness. Appropriate for adhesive capsulitis, overhead athletes, and any patient presenting with selective inferior capsule tightness common with chronic impingments.

Client Rationale
This exercise is to stretch the capsule or the sleeve around your shoulder joint. It stretches the 'armpit' part of your capsule.



Instructions

• Push down on elbow with opposite hand until you feel a gentle stretch in the shoulder.
