Exercises for the shoulder

When we play sport or work we often load the shoulders very heavily. This can lead to complaints 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 racquet sports or painting the ceiling regularly lead to shoulder complaints. But sitting at a desk for long periods or repeatedly making the same arm movement can also cause shoulder pain. Even sleeping can then become a problem. This is an overuse 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.
