The Rotator Cuff consists of four muscles that are responsible for movement, position and stability of your shoulder girdle. These muscles are often hurt with exercises that involve overhead activity, or dynamic movements such as throwing. In addition, lack of activity and/or poor posture can lead to injury to the rotator cuff due to de-conditioning of these muscles, or impingement due to poor postural alignment.
Today’s video, demonstrated by Dr. Paul M. Salinas (Doctor of Chiropractic) and Liz Barnet (Health and Fitness Counselor), can help you improve rotator cuff and core strength by challenging these muscles through three different advanced push-up techniques. These exercises should be done pain-free, and by individuals who can perform standard push-ups without difficulty. If you experience any discomfort during these exercises, you should seek the attention of a licensed medical professional (ie. Orthopedist, Chiropractor, Physical Therapist, Medical Doctor, Sports Medicine Specialist, etc.)
