Simple Shoulder, Ankle, & Wrist Mobilizations
Here are the individual instructions, broken out and formatted for each exercise video:
Shoulder Posterior Glide Mobilization
- Take the arm you want to work on and place that hand on your opposite shoulder.
- Use your other hand to hook around your elbow.
- Gently pull your arm across your body until you feel a stretch.
- Then, apply a light inward and slightly diagonal push on the elbow to deepen the stretch in the back of the shoulder.
- Hold for a few seconds.
- Repeat 10 times.
Note: If it feels painful, stop and consult your physical therapist.
Ankle Mobilization at the Wall
- Stand facing a wall, about a hand’s width away.
- Step one foot forward, keeping the heel flat on the ground.
- Slowly bend your front knee toward the wall until you feel a stretch in your ankle or calf.
- Return to the starting position.
- Repeat this motion 10 times.
Tip: Use slow, controlled movement—no bouncing.
Wrist Flexion Mobilization
- Rest your forearm on a table, palm down, with your wrist just past the edge.
- Allow your hand to gently drop below the table edge.
- Use your other hand to apply light pressure into the knuckles to deepen the stretch.
- Return to the neutral position.
- Repeat for 10 smooth reps.
Reminder: You should feel a stretch—never sharp pain.
