If your shoulders stay motionless for most of the day, they get stiff which makes them more prone to injury.
You should never use a piece of exercising equipment or try a new sport without knowing what you’re doing. You can seriously hurt yourself.
The stronger your muscles are, the more they are capable of. A very simple way to do this is to use a band/cable in your warm-up or exercise routine.
If you have experienced a shoulder injury, give Rochester Community Orthopaedics a call today by calling our office at (585) 218-4337.
