Face Pulls shoulder exercise

We see a lot of shoulder issues most are due to being desk bound and not having enough time to exercise due to work and family commitments. Being based in Kew people tend to be quite active, osteopathy exercises and rehab are a really important part of our philosophy. We're happy to teach you the exercises and practise them with you. Face Pulls are a brilliant exercise to both help maintain shoulder health as well as for the later stages of rehabbing rotator cuff injuries.

You want to feel contraction of the muscles between the lower part of your shoulder blades, while remembering to keep your shoulders away from your eyes!

They work to strengthen the muscles between the shoulder blades that often get neglected such as the lower fibers of the trapezius. It also helps to strengthen the rotator cuff muscles.
If you have shoulder pain and would like hands-on treatment with a mini exercise programme to get you moving and feeling stronger then give us a shout.
