Hi I’m Lisa Cornish, I’m a Physiotherapist at INSYNC PHYSIO and today I’m going to show you a shoulder shrug the I learned from Lynn Watson. Uhhh, so the first thing’s first. I usually get people to stand in front of the mirror so they can watch themselves. So Ed is going to stand in front of the mirror here. And he’s going to bring his arm about 30 degrees out to the side, palm facing forward. And Ed, what I want you to do is shrug your shoulder up so that you’re bringing your shoulder up towards your ear and not up towards the ceiling. That looks good. Alright; So what we’re going to try now is to bring your arm up to the side, shrug that shoulder up and try to hold that for 5 seconds. Relax, and bring that back down… and up to the side and repeat. What I like to give is 3 sets of 20 reps . A lot of the times we can’t actually do 20 reps to start off with, so the goal is to go until fatigue. That looks really good! Uhhh, once they are able to do 3 sets of 20 I then get them to add a weight; Often a water bottle works just fine. And there you have it! That’s your shoulder shrug exercise.
