These are the starter exercises for your shoulder problem. They are meant to reduce the discomfort and restriction. If you have pain at night, it may because the shoulder rides up into the joint. This routine before bed, may help.

Bed forward at the hips, dangle the injured arm down loosely. If  instructed by Dr. Bowers, hold a weight in your hand as well.  Sway your body around to get your arm swinging in small circles. Continue for a minute in one direction then reverse the direction (swinging around the circle in the opposite way). The intent is to have a passive arm and let the weight pull the arm “longer”.  This routine is done several times a day and 3-4 days in duration. You may hear small noises or feel little shifts. They should not be painful. If you run into painful clicking, contact  Dr. Bowers.  

After your pain reduces, you will be moving to the Diagonal exercises aka ” the sword and the beer”. You’ll find these on our website as well.

Stay consistent! Press on. Let’s get this arm better!
