Shoulder Rehab Exercises Using Pilates

Pilates can be an interesting and fun way to rehab your shoulder.

My favourite Pilates shoulder rehab exercises are:

1. Book Openings:

This exercise aims at increasing upper back range of motion in a gentle way

                                                                                 to

2. Superman in kneeling: this exercise works the shoulder blade stabilisers on the arm pushing the ground away. You can also add a leg lift simultaneously to increase the demand on the core and train your posterior oblique sling system.

or

Both of these shoulder rehabd exercises are commonly used in our Mat classes here at Sydney Physio Solutions.
