How to perform Shoulder Controlled Articular Rotation

  1. Stand tall with the ribs and pelvis steady and one arm relaxed beside you.
  2. Move that arm slowly forward and overhead, then rotate through a comfortable arc to bring it behind you and back to the side.
  3. Use a smaller circle whenever the trunk leans, the shoulder pinches, or the movement becomes jerky.
  4. Reverse the circle and repeat on the other arm.
