Try performing Shoulder Rolls to engage the shoulders, upper back & trapezius muscles. For seniors & the elderly, stronger arm and shoulder muscles can help make daily tasks like lifting bags + other items a lot easier.
Follow along with Dr. Michael White, PT, as he demonstrates one of the best seated stretches for shoulder strength, pain & mobility.
Step 1:
Sit tall with your feet flat on the ground.
Step 2:
Shrug your shoulders up toward your ears & slowly rotate your shoulders in a circle—back, down, forward, and back to the top.
Step 3:
When you reach the top, reverse the movement. Roll your shoulders forward, down, back, and to the top again.
Step 4:
Perform 10 repetitions in each direction, for a total of 20 reps.
