Description

Lie on your side with the shoulder to be worked resting on the edge of the bed, the elbow forming a 90° angle to the body and the forearm flat on the floor. Place a small rolled towel or cushion under your head to keep your body straight. You can bend your knees for added stability. With a weight in your hand, rotate your arm to bring your hand inward until the elbow is vertical, then gently release back to the starting position.
