Published in Shoulder Exercises 1 min read

The "butterfly shoulder" refers to a shoulder mobility exercise where the individual retracts their shoulder blades and then rotates their arms in a circular motion, resembling the flapping of a butterfly's wings.

How to Perform the Butterfly Shoulder Exercise:

Based on the provided YouTube video excerpt, here's how to perform the exercise:

  1. Lie prone (face down) on the floor.
  2. Place your hands on your head.
  3. Engage your shoulder blades by lifting your elbows off the ground, retracting your shoulder blades (squeezing them together).
  4. Allow your hands to travel in a large circular motion around your body, continuing the rotation.

This exercise aims to improve shoulder mobility and engage the muscles around the shoulder blades.
