Muscle: Supraspinatus

The supraspinatus is a small but mighty muscle located in your shoulder, just above the shoulder blade. It helps lift your arm away from your body, making it essential for everyday activities like reaching for items on a high shelf, throwing a ball, or even just putting on a shirt. This muscle plays a key role in keeping your shoulder stable and moving smoothly.Having a strong supraspinatus is crucial for fitness and daily life. It not only supports your shoulder during workouts but also helps prevent injuries that can occur from overuse or strain. Whether you’re lifting weights, playing sports, or simply engaging in regular activities, a healthy supraspinatus allows for better movement and reduces the risk of pain.Ready to strengthen your supraspinatus?
