Shoulder Pendulum

SHOULDER PENDULUM

This is an early stage shoulder rehabilitation mobility exercise. Hold onto a light dumbbell (5 lbs used in the video) and lean forwards using a stable chair or stable for support. Allow the muscle of the shoulder to relax and slowly circulate the arm by drawing a circle with the hand. You may alternate direction after 5-10 repetitions.
