Standing Sleeper Stretch
The sleeper stretch is a highly focused exercise for addressing shoulder internal rotation, a very critical functional movement component.

Step 1: Start in a standing position with one shoulder against the wall. It helps to place your feet slightly away from the wall to lean into it. Bend your elbow to 90 degrees so your forearm is positioned horizontally across the front of your body with your palm down. Hold your wrist with your other hand.
Step 2: Slowly lower your palm toward the ground, keeping your elbow in contact with the wall while using your other hand to guide the movement. Do not push into pain.
Step 3: When you move your arm as far as you comfortably can, hold the position for three seconds before returning to the start position. Take two to three seconds to move your arm each way, paying careful attention to movement accuracy.
Step 4: Moving your arm all the way down and back up is counted as one repetition. Perform 10 repetitions per set and three total sets.
