Assisted flexion
Step-by-step directions
Step-by-step directions
- Assisted flexion allows you to get the shoulder range of movement going even though you don’t yet have the power or pain control to do it with the one arm alone.
- The easiest way to start is to lie flat and clasp your hands together.
- Slowly lift your arms up, stretching them out away from you as you bring them gradually above your head if you can.
- Don’t force the movement as it may well be painful to some degree and pushing into the pain won’t help.
TIP: You can also do
this exercise sitting up or standing.
