Sleeper Stretch

(Dr. Tom Grogan recommends)

for GIRD and glenohumeral joint posterior capsule tightness.

Repeated overhead throwing and other rotator cuff dysfunction sometimes result in a particular limitation in the range of motion of the shoulder joint - a restriction in the posterior capsule. You may know it as pain in the shoulder when you reach behind your back and overhead. Here is a fairly simple stretch to combat this potentially disabling condition.
