Codmans/Pendular Exercises

Professional Rationale
Pain relieving exercises to be used when taking a break from AAROM, in between cuff strengthening, in the first few post-op days, and throughout the rehab process.

Client Rationale
This exercise is to help 'warm-up' your shoulder and to be used whenever your shoulder is painful. You can let the arm swing in circles, front to back, or side-to-side. You can use these as much or as little as you need them. If you become fatigued with your exercises, give the shoulder a rest by using these exercises.



Instructions

• Keep arm completely relaxed.
• Move your arm front to back/side to side/circles using momentum.
• Pendular motion.
• Do not actively move your shoulder.
• You should not experience any pain.
