For this motion you need a lat bar machine or exercise bands provided by your therapist. While holding the lat bar in both hands depress the shoulders down to the floor without bending at the waist or leaning with the back. Next raise the shoulders toward the ears without bending the elbows. This exercise is great when suffering from impingement or frozen shoulder to help understand the motion that the shoulder blades are capable of.
