Description

Lie on your side with your legs bent and the arm you want to mobilize positioned above. Extend this arm straight in front of you and support it with the hand of the other arm, the one underneath. Without bending your elbow, slowly move your fist forward as if to push something, then slowly return to the starting position. The movement should come from the shoulder blade, not the arm itself.
