Description

Lie on your side with your arm along your body and your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle. If necessary, place a rolled towel between your elbow and ribs for added comfort. Rest your head on your other arm for support. Perform an external rotation of the shoulder to lift your hand and maintain this position for the duration specified by your physical therapist. Make sure to keep the rest of your body still, without rotating your torso.
