The front raise targets the shoulder’s anterior deltoid, helping to build strength and control when lifting the arm forward. Using weights or resistance, it supports shoulder stability, improves overhead function, and develops strength needed for daily tasks and sport. This exercise is common in both rehab and performance programs.
- Stand with weights in hands and knuckles facing forward.
- Select weights appropriate to your level as discussed with your physiotherapist.
- Relax the shoulders and begin lifting the arms up to 90 degrees to the trunk.
- Return to the start point slowly and controlled.
- Repeat as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
