This is an instructional video to correctly demonstrate General Shoulder Range of Movement Exercises.

The content in this video is provided for general information purposes only and is not meant to replace a physiotherapy or medical consultation.

Step by Step

  1. If you need to improve the general range of movement in your shoulders then this is an excellent group of exercises
  2. Remember these exercises should be pain free during after and the next day. The most that you should feel is a strong stretch sensation
  3. Each exercise should be held for 20-30 seconds at the end of range and you should aim to perform all of these exercises between 4 to 6 times per day
  4. Flexion
  5. Stand facing a wall and lift your arm up and out in front of your body and place your hand on the wall. Now lean your body forwards at your hips so that you feel the stretch in your shoulder
  6. Abduction
  7. Stand side on to a wall and lift your arm up and out to the side and place your hand on the wall. Now lean your body sideways so that you feel the stretch in your shoulder
  8. External rotation
  9. Standing in a door way with the palm of your hand on the frame. While keeping your elbow by your side at all times, step your body around until you feel a stretch
  10. Hand behind back
  11. Take hold of a towel at one end and dangle it down your back. Now with the arm you want to stretch, grab hold of the other end of the towel.
  12. Next use the upper arm to pull the towel up and over the shoulder so that it stretches your lower arm up your back.
  13. Flexibility takes time to establish so be patient as it could takes several months to achieve improvements

Online Physiotherapy

Put simply this is Physio done via either telephone or video over the internet. Skype and facetime are examples of this.

Contrary to popular belief online physiotherapy can be very effective and it can help the same injuries that face to face physio can help. I have helped many people with injuries such as disc prolapses, tennis elbow, neck pain and much more).
