Rotator Cuff FitKit  Rotator Cuff Exercises - The Rotator Cuff FitKit program, designed from the latest sports medicine research, includes exercises and stretches proven to be safe and effective for developing and maintaining optimal shoulder function. For instance, the exercise commonly called the Empty Can, an arm lift with the thumb pointed down, has been shown to increase compression of rotator cuff tendons. This can cause inflammation and pain in a previously injured shoulder. A safer exercise is the Full Can with the thumb pointed up. Additionally, research shows that performing internal and external rotation exercises with a towel between the arm and body is more effective for targeting the rotator cuff muscles.  more info Rotator cuff injuries are common for people over forty years old and those participating in sports requiring overhead arm movements. Fortunately, the risk of rotator cuff injury or reinjury can be greatly reduced by performing strength and flexibility exercises targeting the rotator cuff and associated muscles.  The Rotator Cuff Fitkit includes: - Strength-training guidelines and recommendations - Level 1 and Level 2 rotator cuff exercise programs - Flexibility-training guidelines - Chest, back, shoulder and rotator cuff stretches

This braking action, called eccentric loading, causes strain on some rotator cuff muscles. Consequently, these muscles must be trained eccentrically in order to withstand the forces placed on them. The Rotator Cuff Fitkit includes a specific exercise to address this issue. It also includes other exercises such as those targeting a rib cage muscle which if weak, can increase the deceleration forces on the shoulder during throwing, swinging, etc.  back
