Standing Wand Internal Rotation/Extension

Professional Rationale
Active Assisted ROM for an acutely painful shoulder, most often due to surgery, post traumatic dislocation, or conservative management of a massive rotator cuff tear.

Client Rationale
This exercise is to help you get your shoulder range of motion back without using the muscles that are painful, healing, or both.



Instructions

• Hold wand behind you with hands as close together as possible.
• Slowly raise hands up.
• Return slowly, keeping your affected arm relaxed.
• Do not move your arm behind your back on its own.
• Do not move quickly.
