How to use the MSD-Band Shoulder Rope Pulley1 CommentFriday, 10 August 2018 | Paul Inexpensive, simple to use and highly effective, the over-door MSD-Band Shoulder Rope Pulley is your gateway to a huge variety of resistive shoulder exercises. Whether you are looking to rehabilitate or prevent an injury, or simply to build up strength, the versatility and simplicity of the MSD-Band Shoulder Pulley can help you achieve your goals with the minimum of fuss and cost. How to Exercise with the MSD Shoulder PulleyFirst things first – make sure you set up the pulley safely and securely according to the instructions provided. It's highly important that the door is not opened while the pulley is mounted, so if the door's got a lock, you'll probably want to use it. These exercises are intended to help you stretch an injured shoulder. You'll always be pulling with your good arm, allowing your other arm to move passively. Perform these exercises slowly and with control, and always consult a licensed healthcare professional before use. Exercise I - Up and DownOne of the most basic movements possible with the MSD Shoulder Pulley, the Up and Down exercise is great as a warm-up or a general strength builder. However, it's important to remember to emphasise the role of the shoulders in your movement in order to get the most out of this exercise.
Exercise II - Side CircleThe Side Circle is a gentle rehabilitation exercise, putting a safe but significant load on your injured arm and helping you to regain strength and range of motion. Make sure your injured arm remains largely passive and remember to stop if you feel any pain.
Exercise III - RotationGently stretching the rotator cuff muscles, the Rotation exercise can really help you feel the benefits of resistive exercise. Your good arm always controls how much your injured arm will rotate, so remember to adjust your pull force accordingly.
Exercise IV - Internal RotationOne of the most advanced exercises available with the MSD pulley, Internal Rotation should only be attempted towards the end of a rehabilitation cycle. Due to the potential for overstretching, great care must be taken when undertaking this exercise, and having a helper on hand is recommended.
