Wall Slide

By Cody Weisbach, PT, DPT

Here is an essential shoulder exercise for musicians. It will get you started strengthening the very important (but often ignored) muscles on the front of the shoulder blade.

Purpose: Shoulder blade strength and control

Tempo: 1-2 seconds up. 3-4 seconds down 

Perform 3 rounds of 8-12 repetitions 3 days per week

Tip: Try not to let your elbows flare out or lift off the wall.

If it’s too hard: Don’t slide all the way up.
