Standing Shoulder CAR's (Controlled Articular Rotations)

Start in a standing position with either a fist or spread fingers on the working arm. I prefer split fingers to get the most neural drive (nervous system tension) out of my entire arm. I also prefer to hold onto my ribs or abs with my other arm to keep my ribs down to avoid compensation with my spine. Start by slowly reaching the arm straight to the ceiling by flexing the shoulder. Keep reaching up while pulling the belly in tight. Once you reach maximum flexion for your specific mobility, internally rotate the arm so that the thumb goes towards the midline and the pinky faces behind you. Then actively drive the arm backwards leading with the pinky finger until your arm circles all the way back where your arm is inline with your ribcage and your hand is near your pocket.
