How to perform Shoulder Internal Rotation with Stick

  1. Stand upright and hold a light dowel horizontally behind your lower back with both hands.
  2. Keep the shoulder you are stretching relaxed, with its hand behind your back and its palm facing away from your body.
  3. Use the opposite hand to draw the dowel sideways, guiding the stretching hand gently across the lower back.
  4. Keep your torso facing forward without leaning or twisting to gain extra range.
  5. Hold the position without forcing it, release the assistance slowly, and switch sides.
