Functional workout-Shoulder external rotations

External shoulder rotations. This is another whole body exercise using an arm driver from knee to overhead and in this demonstration a weight to create tension and transverse plane rotation in the trunk of the body. This feeds motion down to the hips, knees, ankles and of course the feet. The Stanse is sagital plane so different reactions occur in the front foot and back foot also because the pelvis is positioned in a rotated position it has to then create different load variables in the facets on the left side of the spine and the right side. Thoracic spine is also in rotation along with the head and neck...start with no weight to test range of motion
