It was hard to find smaller closed loop bands for the exercises I needed. I'm a 6ft tall man, but I needed smaller bands for a shoulder rehabilitation exercise and they work great!
In our modern world, a lot of damage can be done over time by bending our neck to look at phones, computers, countertops, etc. Sliwly I had found that my shoulders were rotating forward and causing neck, upper back pain, even beginning to affect the way I stand.
The corrective exercise is simple, but you must commit to doing it at least a few times a day. I could tell a difference almost immediately.
I stand or sit with the band looped around my arms, near my wrist, palms up. I pin my elbows to my sides and SLOWLY push my hands outward while keeping my elbows in place, making sure I focus on stretching and engaging the upper part of the back of my arm. When I feel a stretch (I don't strain, it should feel challenging, but still natural and controlled) I slowly bring my hands back to the start. Retraining these muscles works fairly fast if they are under utilized.
My only issue is the product comes with a cancer warning due to the materials, which I inside is because of possible toxicity in the rubber. I make sure to wash my hands after using and do not touch my face, etc.
I never leave reviews but I couldn't find any rows addressing my specific needs and I just hope to help somebody out if they're struggling in the same way. Be patient, you got this! 💪
