Shoulder Pass-Through

A slow overhead arc that gently loosens the shoulders and chest.

How to do it

  1. Stand or sit tall. Hold the EZband in front of your hips with both hands very wide apart, palms down.
  2. Keeping your arms straight, slowly raise the band in front of you and overhead.
  3. Only go as far as is comfortable. If your shoulders allow it, continue the arc behind you.
  4. Slowly return the same way to the start.
  5. Do 6–8 slow reps.

Form tips

  • The wider your hands, the easier it is.
  • Keep your ribs down and your back from arching.
  • This is a mobility move — it should feel like a stretch, not a strain.

Using your EZband

Hold the band with a very wide grip. This move uses the band for guidance more than resistance — the Light band is ideal.

Beginner modifications

  • Go only to overhead, not behind.
  • Go only to shoulder height.
  • Do it seated.

Safety notes

  • Skip this one if you have a shoulder injury or have had shoulder surgery, unless your clinician has cleared it.
  • Never force the range.
