Over the years older people are becoming more active and they see the need for different types of shoulder exercises. But the is extremely mobile and being made of a wide range or bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments is very easy to hurt. Older bodies with their weaker muscles, wear and tear over the years and a stooping posture all add up to more and more injuries.

Add a fall or two and then going on to do repetitious exercises at home in the gym, it is easy to see how injuries to the rotator cuff are more common. Simple and easy exercises that take into account age and the general condition of the shoulder can be done regularly at an early stage of treatment. As with any area of the body there are many ways the shoulder can be injured, but all can be helped by getting and keeping a good posture.

By exercising the posture muscles between the shoulders the posture is improved and the rotator cuff muscles can work easier. Some people think that regaining mobility by doing stretches should be the first exercises to do, but if the body is in a wrong position because of a poor posture tension will be placed on wear muscles. If the posture muscles between the shoulders are weak even a simple exercise like bending forwards and swing the arm will create more problems. A simple exercise like getting into a habit of turning the palms forwards while walking or standing will gentle exercise the posture muscles. When these muscles get stronger, stretching and strengthening of other shoulder muscles can start.
