8 weeks
This is an 8-week program that features targeted mobility and strength for the Rotator Cuff.
3 Strength and 5 Mobility sessions are provided per week, and they are separated for ease of use. If the athlete is looking for Rotator Cuff Stability, then they can focus on only the Strength portion of the program. If an athlete requires both strength and mobility work, the athlete should perform the entirety of the program.
