In this series we discuss different exercises and evaluate the benefit of the exercises, but we also look at the risks associated with performing these exercises
Lateral Raises
Where I see a lot of my patients develop injuries with the lateral raises is when they lift the weights too high, or shrug the shoulders up too much.
Overhead Press
The risk with overhead presses stems from the mobility and stability requirements of the upper quadrant. Without it you are likely to get hurt.
Situps, planking and more
Do you have pain?
