The shoulder mobility screen in the FMS often reveals side-to-side asymmetries. \u00a0It is more common to see hypermobility in female clientele, while their male counterparts exhibit more hypomobility. \u00a0Overhead athletes tend to demonstrate excessive horizontal external rotation and a relative loss of internal rotation on the dominant side. \u00a0This hypomobility can be detrimental to overhead athletes and increase risk for overuse injuries if it becomes excessive.<\/p>\n
The following exercise is an effective way to improve shoulder mobility and optimize function. \u00a0One important point is to focus on form and move very deliberately through the motion.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
