| Purpose: |
To gain range of motion of the shoulder, specifically the tissue on the back side. |
| Start Position: |
In the standing position, relax the involved shoulder and arm; with your opposite hand, grasp the side to be stretched
just above the elbow; the arm should be held below shoulder level with your palm facing forward and up |
| Action: |
Pull the involved arm towards the midline of your body until you feel a stretch in the back of the shoulder |
| Parameters: |
Repeat movement 20-25 times |
| Tips: |
Do not let your shoulder elevate towards your ear; if you experience pain/pinching in the front of your shoulder,
make sure your palm is oriented forward and up; you may also want to lower the arm closer to your side; don't let
your trunk rotate |
