Prone Shoulder Extension

Prone shoulder extension is an exercise that is often used to strengthen the posterior muscles of the shoulder as well as the shoulder blade muscles. This exercise can help improve shoulder stabilization, allowing for normal movement patterns of the shoulder joint, and allows for activation of both the tricep and latissimus dorsi muscles improving both shoulder depression and extension. This exercise is often used to help aide in the prevention of shoulder injuries through stabilization of the shoulder girdle and shoulder blades.
