Dr Jared Beckstrand leads you through 4 of the best exercises you can do at home to strengthen your rotator cuff and eliminate shoulder pain. No equipment needed, but if you’ve got some light dumbbells or some resistance bands these exercises can be enhanced. The same physical therapy rotator cuff strengthening exercises given to patients every single day - follow along with this detailed instruction!

There are four shoulder muscles that make up your “rotator cuff”. The primary responsibility of these muscles is to improve stability in your shoulder and keep the head of the humerus (ball) squarely seated in the glenoid cavity (socket).

If your rotator cuff is weak (even by comparison to your other shoulder muscles) it can result in movement of your humerus (ball) in the socket which ultimately results in irritation, inflammation, and pain.

One of the best things you can do to avoid and even eliminate shoulder pain is to keep your rotator cuff strong through regular strengthening exercises.

In this video, you’ll learn four of the best home exercises for rotator cuff strengthening.

In an effort to make these as simple and accessible as possible, I selected exercises that require no equipment. However I also demonstrate how to perform these exercises with bands and dumbbells if you do have them available.
