Daily Movement Tip: Standing External Rotations
Whether you’re a surgeon standing for hours in the OR, a nurse charting, or a medic holding awkward positions, your shoulders take a beating. The Standing External Rotation is a simple but powerful way to strengthen your rotator cuff—the small muscles that stabilize and protect your shoulders.
✅ Benefits for Healthcare Workers:
- Strengthens the rotator cuff, reducing risk of overuse injuries
- Improves posture by counteracting forward rounding from long hours charting or leaning
- Enhances shoulder stability for lifting patients, pushing stretchers, and surgical precision
- Reduces stiffness and discomfort from being stuck in one position for too long
⚡ Why It Matters:
Shoulder injuries are one of the most common issues for healthcare workers—and prevention starts here. Just a minute or two of external rotations can protect your most important tools: your arms and hands.
Strong shoulders = safer shifts.
