Description

Shoulder circles are a great exercise to loosen up the shoulders and increase mobility. It involves rotating the shoulders in a circular motion, both forward and backward.

How to Do Shoulder Circle

1
Setup
Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms relaxed at your sides, keeping a neutral spine.
2
Initiate small forward circles by smoothly rotating your shoulders up, forward, and down, keeping your arms relaxed.
3
Gradually increase the size of the circles, focusing on a full range of motion without experiencing any pain or discomfort.
4
After completing your desired repetitions in the forward direction, reverse the motion to perform backward circles with the same controlled movement.

Tips

Focus on smooth, controlled movements rather than fast, jerky rotations to maximize joint lubrication and minimize strain.
Coordinate your breathing by inhaling as your shoulders rise and exhaling as they lower, promoting relaxation and deeper movement.
Keep your neck relaxed and avoid shrugging it up towards your ears; the movement should originate solely from the shoulder joint and scapula.
Vary the size of your circles throughout the set, starting small and gradually expanding to explore your full pain-free range of motion.

Common Mistakes

×Performing fast, uncontrolled circles can cause jarring or strain; instead, slow down and focus on smooth, deliberate rotations.
×Shrugging the neck or tensing the traps during the movement reduces the focus on the shoulder joint; keep your neck long and relaxed, allowing the shoulders to move independently.
×Limiting the range of motion too much fails to achieve full mobility benefits; actively try to make the circles as large as comfortably possible.
