This video demonstrates the overhead reach exercise on the cadillac which is part of APPI’s Equipment 2 course for Scapulo Thoracic Stabilisation.

This series provides a variety of opportunities for the client to work their shoulders while practicing the maintenance of lumbar neutral.

The two-handed variations at the start of the video are excellent beginner level shoulder rehabilitation exercises due to the supportive nature of the cadillac. As the model moves onto the one handed variations and incorporates an abdo prep, the work through the primary sling and global muscles is increased and the it becomes a great way of teaching loaded abdominal work.
