Shoulder warm-up routine

Are you giving your shoulders the attention they deserve before hitting the gym? As a physiotherapist, I often see even the most dedicated gym-goers and athletes neglect a proper shoulder warm-up and it can cost them in the long run.

The shoulder is one of the most flexible joints in the body, but that flexibility can make it prone to strains and injuries. A focused warm-up routine boosts circulation, preps your stabilising muscles, and improves joint mobility, all crucial for pain-free, effective workouts. Skipping this step could set you up for discomfort, mobility issues, or even rotator cuff problems.

Incorporate dynamic movements such as shoulder circles, resistance band exercises, and scapular activation drills into your pre-workout routine. These exercises don’t just protect you, they also enhance your performance and speed up your recovery.
