1-Arm Shoulder Bracing "On Wall"

1. Stand facing a wall with feet about shoulder width apart.

2. With a straight "plank" body position lean forward into wall from ankles onto one arm.

3. Load shoulder complex with body weight and hold while staying "square" to wall with shoulders and hips.

Tips: Make sure you have good alignment with straight body or "plank" position.  Don't stick butt out or sag back.

• Options: To make it easier move feet closer to wall.  To make it harder move feet out away from wall.  1-Arm bracing is a great way to increase shoulder stability which means the shoulder can better control movements.

*Note: This exercise is intended for "normal healthy" individuals.  If you have an injury, or abnormal pain is present,
see your physician or a certified physical therapist before continuing your exercises.
