Shoulder Exercises:
Intermediate Range of Movement Patient Exercise Sheet
These exercises can be done within your pain limits however they should not increase your pain. Your pain should not be severe but a little discomfort when exercising is ok. If you experience severe pain which lasts more than 30 minutes after you stop, reduce the force or frequency with which you are performing them.
As a guide start with the number of prescribed repetitions and sets. You can increase or decrease based on your pain. Complete these exercises little and often as pain allows.
