Exercises for the shoulder

During sports or work, we often put a heavy load on the shoulders. This can sometimes cause problems that make daily activities very difficult. Often, it helps to do exercises that train the shoulder muscles and tendons.

Shoulder complaints

Overhead activities such as throwing and racket sports or painting the ceiling regularly lead to shoulder problems. But sitting behind a desk for a long time or repeatedly making the same movement with the arm can also cause shoulder pain. Even sleeping can become a problem. This is an overuse injury of the shoulder. Some muscles work too hard and others do too little. In short, the balance is gone. With the right exercises, you restore this balance.
