Banded Swimmers | Corrective Exercise for Shoulder Control & Scapular Stability

In this video, Dr. Ken Kaufman, sports chiropractor and MLB consultant, demonstrates the Banded Swimmers exercise—a dynamic corrective drill that builds shoulder endurance, scapular stability, and postural control.

✅ Why This Exercise Matters:

  • Improves coordination between the shoulder blade and rotator cuff

  • Enhances endurance for repetitive movements (swimming, throwing, lifting)

  • Reinforces proper posture and shoulder mechanics

  • Reduces the risk of shoulder impingement and overuse injuries

🏋️‍♂️ How to Perform:

  1. Anchor a resistance band at chest height

  2. Stand tall with core engaged and elbows slightly bent

  3. Move your arms through a controlled “swimming” motion, maintaining scapular stability

  4. Perform 2–3 sets of 12–15 reps

💡 Pro Tip: Slow down the tempo—control equals strength. Focus on smooth, symmetrical movement to engage stabilizers and improve endurance.
