Shoulder Health: Maintain Arm Strength & Stability

Arm Care & Shoulder Health for Baseball Players (and Active Adults!)

Taking care of your arm isn’t just for pitchers—shoulder strength and stability are key for anyone who throws, lifts, or trains regularly. This comprehensive arm care routine targets the shoulder, scapular muscles, elbow, and grip, helping improve performance while reducing the risk of injury. Whether you’re an athlete or just staying active, these exercises support a healthier, more resilient upper body.

Here’s a breakdown of the routine:

  • Feet Elevated Down Dog – Improves shoulder mobility and scapular control
  • Single Arm Serratus Wall Slide – Activates the serratus for better shoulder mechanics
  • Chest Supported Y Raise & Side-Lying T Raise – Strengthen the small but mighty stabilizers
  • Banded 90/90 Series (Y Slide, ER, IR) – Mimic throwing mechanics while building strength
  • Knee on Elbow External Rotation – Targets rotator cuff stability in a functional position
  • Zottman Curl & TRX Tricep Extension – Build balanced arm strength
  • Suitcase & Claw Grip Carries – Challenge grip and shoulder stability
  • Resisted Ulnar Deviation & Pronation/Supination – Strengthen the forearm and wrist for full-arm support

Incorporate these into your weekly routine to keep your shoulders strong, mobile, and game-ready. Your future self (and your throwing arm) will thank you!
