Description:
  1. Using a chair or bench for stability assume a bent over posture with one hand on the chair/bench and the other dangling relaxed.  Make sure that you establish a neutral spine and head posture.  A slight knee bend is encouraged to help obtain a neutral spine posture.
  2. Hold a KB or DB in the dangling hand.  Allow the weight of the KB or DB to lightly traction the glenohumeral joint.  Try to relax.
  3. The movement should be pain free.  Move either through a circular, figure 8 or cross pattern.
  4. Movement should be very slow and relaxed.
  5. The goal of this exercise is to improve mobility and reduce muscular tension.  It is not a maximal effort type exercise.
Common Error(s): Inappropriate momentum
