We recommend consulting a musculoskeletal physiotherapist to ensure exercises are best suited to your recovery. If you are carrying out an exercise regime without consulting a healthcare professional, you do so at your own risk. If you have any concerns whilst completing these exercises, please contact a healthcare professional.
This program focuses on maintaining range of movement within the shoulder and maintenance of upper limb strength and stability. We suggested you carry this out once a day over for 2-6 weeks as pain allows. We can work into pain during these exercises but ideally, this should not exceed any more than 3 out of 10 on your self-perceived pain scale (3).
This is the next progression. More focus is given to progressive upper limb strengthening. As with the early program, some pain is to be expected but ideally, we don’t want this to be any more than 3 out of 10.
