Controlled Arm Lowering With Weight in Side-Lying Position

Description

Lie on your side, with a weight in the hand of your top arm and your elbow bent. Start by performing an external rotation of the shoulder to bring your hand upward. Once the range is reached, straighten your elbow to extend the arm, then slowly lower the arm while controlling the descent. Then bend your elbow again to return to the starting position, and repeat as directed by your therapist.
