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