Abstract:
A shoulder motion exercise device and method of use having a retainer, a connector, an extender, and a slider. When the user mimics a golf swing, the device aids in the stretching and exercise of at least a shoulder and a portion of the torso.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for shoulder motion exercise, comprising:\n releasably attaching a retainer ( 100 ) to an arm of a human user (U); gripping an extender ( 300 ) having an axial length, a proximal end ( 310 ), an extender gripping portion ( 330 ), a distal end ( 320 ), and an extender slidable portion ( 340 ) having a proximal slider position ( 360 ) and a distal slider position ( 370 ) along the axial length, across a palm in a first-side hand of the human user (U), the first-side hand being on the same anatomical side as a first-side shoulder of the human user (U); placing a hand-grippable slider ( 400 ) across a portion of a second-side hand of the human user (U), the second-side hand being on the same anatomical side as a second-side shoulder of the human user (U) and opposite the anatomical side of the first-side hand and the first-side shoulder, wherein the hand-grippable slider ( 400 ) is coupled to a proximal end ( 210 ) of an elastic resistance connector ( 200 ), a distal end ( 220 ) of the elastic resistance connector ( 200 ) is coupled to the retainer ( 100 ), the elastic resistance connector ( 200 ) having an unstretched connector length of 6-22 inches; moving the first-side hand and second-side hand away from the torso while rotating the second-side shoulder away from a torso of a human user (U) from an initial second-side shoulder position, and the first-side shoulder across a portion of the torso from an initial first-side shoulder position, thereby rotating the torso toward the second-side shoulder, abducting the first-side shoulder of the user and adducting the second-side shoulder, and moving the slider ( 400 ) at least 12 inches from the proximal slider position ( 360 ) toward the distal slider position ( 370 ) along a portion of the axial length of the extender ( 300 ) thereby stretching the elastic resistance connector ( 200 ) and transmitting a force to the retainer ( 100 ) so that the movement of the slider ( 400 ) aids in the rotation of the first-side shoulder across a portion of the torso, wherein the connector length increases by at least 2 inches when subjected to an axial tensile load of 5 lbf; and moving the first-side hand and second-side hand back toward the torso while rotating the second-side shoulder and the first-side shoulder back to the initial positions thereby rotating the torso toward the first-side shoulder, adducting the first-side shoulder of the user and abducting the second-side shoulder, and returning the slider ( 400 ) toward the proximal slider position ( 360 ).
