go back to Shoulder Physical Therapy menu

Hold onto the edge of a sturdy table for support and bend forward with your knees slightly bent. Relax your shoulder blade and let your surgical arm hang limp. Use your body to gently swing your surgical arm in small circles. Perform clockwise circles, counterclockwise circles, and circles back and forth as if you were bowling. Stand tall and relax between each set. Repeat the recommended number of times.

ALL EXERCISES SHOULD BE PERFORMED AS INSTRUCTED BY YOUR SURGEON, AFTER PROPER DEMONSTRATION BY A PHYSICAL THERAPIST.
