4. Example of use
Speed Pulleys help restore the functional qualities of circulation, flexibility, coordination, endurance
and strength. The suggested exercise dosages below come from the principles taught in Medical
Exercise Therapy (MET) and Scientific Therapeutic Exercise Progressions (STEP) and can be
applied to any exercise.
Circulation: Less than 50% of 1 RM, 50x to infinite repetitions of internal /
external rotation with the forearm resting in a shoulder rotation device.
The shoulder rotation device prevents premature “closure” of the supra-
humeral space due to fatigue or pain.
Flexibility: Less than 50% of 1 RM, 50x to infinite repetitions of internal /
external rotation making sure each repetition starts in maximal external
rotation of the glenohumeral joint.
Flexibility: Less than 50% of 1 RM, 50x to infinite repetitions of knee
flexion. The pulley straps are assisting femoral glide in the correct direction
in order to increase joint range.
Coordination: Less than 50% of 1 RM, 50x to infinite repetitions of
shoulder extension helping to center the humeral head in the glenohumeral
joint.
