a useful exercise to challenge the shoulder. One of the exercises that helped me rehab my shoulder ( along with ice, heat, accupuncture, massage and strengthening)

  • This is for people who have recovered from a dislocation and wish to strengthen further. It looks impossible for someone with a shoulder instability. I would dislocate my shoulders if I tried that!

  • i would agree, ongoing shoulder instability is a very specific problem , and i would not set this drill for that specific issue. that said, the fact this exercise is called a dislocation seems to confuse some people, so, if youtube will let me, im going to change the title

  • If I can't get the mop handle past my head, if I keep trying will I eventually be able to do the full range of motion?

  • to build your flexibility you may have to start off with shoulder circles (ie visualise a broom handle). ultimately flexibility is a function of genetics, bone arrangement and time spent practising so its possible to get no improvement whatsoever.

  • hi, i'm 6'8 and i have a very stiff back.. i can reach everywhere on my spine, but it takes -alot- of effort and stretching and shoving.. with my height disposition, would this work for me?

  • I think I would suggest that you begin to circle your arms backwards without the pole just to see how it feels.

    Its hard giving you specific advise as I dont know your particular circumstances. Gentle would be the word.

    no, flexibility is merely the function of your nervous system being trained to allow or not allow a movement to occur. different predispositions may exist in people, but bones are pretty much arranged the same in everyone. its nothing more, nothing less, unless you're talking about contortionists.

  • @interzonemantra yes i saw this on a site its very good for the posture

  • i used to dislocate my shoulder twice and i think if i do this exam my shoulder will probably dislocate. ?

  • I tried doing this but I can't..I've never had any injuries or anything so I don't get why I can't do it. Even with a really wide grip : (

  • is it true that this exercise is also good with helping your posture?

  • 5 operation and i can do it again! MUAHAHA I found the right doctor!

  • Buddy i have a same problem but i cant even think about doing this exercise...tell me what shld i do i have did 1 surgery but nothing happend
