Wall climb abduction

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

• Stand close to the wall.
• Climb slowly up the wall until you feel a gentle stretch in the shoulder.
• Turn your body to the opposite side.
• Do not move quickly.
• There should not be any sharp pain.
