Shoulder Internal Rotation - Unlocking Optimal Range of Motion

Nov 3, 2023

The Importance of Shoulder Internal Rotation

Shoulder internal rotation is a critical movement for maintaining optimal shoulder function and overall health. This movement allows the shoulder joint to rotate internally, bringing the hand towards the midline of the body. It plays a vital role in various daily activities, including reaching overhead, throwing, serving in sports, and even simple tasks like reaching for objects on higher shelves.

Understanding the Shoulder Joint

The shoulder joint is a complex structure consisting of bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Proper internal rotation is essential for maintaining the overall stability and mobility of the shoulder joint. When there is limited range of motion in shoulder internal rotation, it can lead to various issues such as shoulder impingement, muscular imbalances, and decreased functionality of the upper body.
