Pendulum Exercises for Shoulder Mobility

Pendulum Exercises for Shoulder Mobility ***It is important to get and keep your joints moving lest they seize up and deteriorate*** • Improving the basic mobility of the joint prepares it for further rehabilitative exercises. • Start low and slow! Breathe as you exercise. Use smooth, relaxed movements. • Work up to your level of tolerable discomfort. If you feel pain, reduce the exercise to what you can   tolerate… Some exercise is better than none. • If sore, apply ice after your exercises to reduce inflammation. Bend over to allow the arm to hang freely and relaxed. Support yourself on a table or chair . • Swing the arm front to back as if in a marching action. Try several repetitions with the thumb turned in, and then turned out. Focus on moving the shoulder joint, not the just the forearm. • Swing the arm from one side to the other side, as if it were a pendulum. Do a few repetitions with the thumb turned in, then turned out. • Move your arm in an easy circle. T
