Wall Supported Arm Raises

How to Do:

1. Stand with your back against a wall, ensuring your head, upper back, and hips are in contact with the surface.
2. Place your arms at a 90-degree angle, with elbows bent at shoulder height and your forearms parallel to the floor.
3. Slowly raise your arms overhead, maintaining contact with the wall, and extend your arms fully.
4. Hold for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your arms back to the starting position, keeping your movements controlled.
5. Repeat for 8–12 reps.

Benefits:

Wall supported arm raises help improve shoulder mobility, especially for individuals with tight or restricted shoulder movement. The wall provides stability and guidance, encouraging proper form and alignment while strengthening the shoulders and upper back. This exercise can also help to reduce shoulder impingement risk and improve posture by promoting scapular stability and upper body strength.
