Side Lying Powell Raise | Shoulders | HEALTHY SOCIETY EXERCISES

Описание: The side-lying Powell raise targets the shoulder stabilisers and upper-back muscles while teaching precise arm and scapular control.

By lying on your side, this drill isolates the rotator cuff and upper-back without compensatory recruitment from the neck or traps. It helps reinforce shoulder centration and movement quality for pressing, pulling, and overhead work.

This exercise supports safer shoulder mechanics, reduces neck and upper-trap tension, and improves functional upper-body control.

Key coaching points:
• Keep the shoulder blade anchored on the back ribs
• draw the arm bone back into the so ket to generate movement
• Avoid shrugging the shoulder toward the ear
• Maintain core engagement by making a wsist off the floor

Best for:
– Weak rotator cuff or upper-back control
– Shoulder instability or discomfort
– Neck and upper-trap overactivity
– Preparing for overhead pressing or pulling

Avoid if:
– Acute shoulder, neck, or upper-back injury
