Shoulder

Pendulum swing

Relaxes a painful or stiff shoulder without muscle effort

How to do it

  1. 1Lean forward, supporting yourself with your good arm on a table.
  2. 2Let the sore arm hang loosely towards the floor.
  3. 3Gently sway your body so the arm swings in small circles, then side to side.
  4. 4Keep the shoulder muscles relaxed; the body does the work.

Small circles only. Stop if pain increases.
