Fundamental movements are the building blocks for healthy movement patterns and pain-free shoulders. Learning to integrate these five movements into your everyday motions, from sports to putting the dishes away, will help you build strong, stable shoulders capable of doing whatever it is you ask of them.

These fundamentals apply to everyone, from athletes to regular people.

The only equipment you'll need is a strength band for movement 5. If you don't have one, you can use a bungee cord, leggings, or anything else with a little stretch.

Movement 1 is going to prevent impingement in the subacromial space.
Movement 2 prevents and corrects poor posture. It also reinforces movement 1.
Movement 3 is a combo. You'll improve your cervical spine health and decrease shoulder tension. (Extra good for people who carry their stress in their shoulders.)
Movement 4 restores external and internal rotation of the upper arm, keeping your arm properly seated in the shoulder socket.
Movement 5 helps build good shoulder girdle alignment. It applies to all pulling motions and exercises you find yourself doing during your day.

Remember to fight yourself at the end range of motion on these movements. That's how you improve!
