Here is another exercise to add to your Shoulder Rehab Protocol - Swiss Ball Push-Ups. Re-stabilizing the shoulder and scapula by strengthening the serratus anterior with this closed kinetic chain exercise. Another benefit is the increased torso activation. Greater instability can be obtained by deflating the swiss ball slightly. A variation can be done by adding a "plus" to the movement similar to a push-up plus movement demonstrated in the Shoulder Rehab Protocol linked below. Other variations include: - placing feet on an elevated surface - planks on the swiss ball for time and slowly progressing to these movements - raising one leg - utilizing a weight vest Building strength in the musculature involved in scapulae stability (upper & lower traps, serratus anterior, rhomboids). This exercise can be inserted into this Shoulder Rehab Protocol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0ONHZmsFec
