Description

Stand up with the affected arm behind your back as high as possible, holding a stick with both hands. The hand on the side to be worked is at the bottom and the other hand is above. The upper hand pulls the stick upward to allow for maximum internal rotation. Hold the stretch for the prescribed duration.
