Roll Ball Infraspinatus (VERSION 2)

To perform the Roll Ball Infraspinatus, start by sitting on the floor with your legs extended in front of you. Place a small exercise ball under your right shoulder blade.

  1. Gently lean back onto the ball, allowing it to roll under your shoulder blade.
  2. Move your body side to side to massage the infraspinatus muscle.
  3. Maintain a relaxed posture and breathe deeply throughout the exercise.
  4. Repeat for 30 seconds, then switch to the left side.

How to perform the Roll Ball Infraspinatus (VERSION 2)

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Roll Ball Infraspinatus (VERSION 2) using your roller.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your latissimus dorsi.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your latissimus dorsi rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
