Kneeling Elbow Mobilisation

Improve shoulder mobility with Kneeling Elbow Mobilisation! A simple exercise for a better upper body range of motion.

Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Begin in a kneeling position on a comfortable surface, such as a mat.

    • Keep your knees hip-width apart and place your hands on the ground in front of you, shoulder-width apart.

  2. Positioning:

    • Ensure your back is straight and your core is engaged.

    • Your arms should be extended, and your palms flat on the ground.

  3. Movement:

    • Slowly lower your upper body towards the ground by bending at the elbows.

    • As you lower, aim to keep your elbows directly under your shoulders.

  4. Hold and Return:

    • Hold the lowered position for a moment, feeling the stretch in your arms and shoulders.

    • Push through your palms to return to the starting position, straightening your arms.

  5. Repetitions:

    • Repeat this movement for 10-15 repetitions, focusing on maintaining good form throughout.

  6. Breathing:

    • Inhale as you lower your body and exhale as you push back up to the starting position.

  7. Tips:

    • If you experience any discomfort in your wrists or elbows, consider placing a small cushion or rolled towel under your palms for support.

    • Always perform the movements slowly and with control to prevent injury.

This exercise helps improve mobility in the shoulders and may contribute to better overall upper body movement.
