Top 5 Exercises For Shoul...

Exercise can be an important part of managing a shoulder or arm fracture. However, it is important to follow the guidance of your doctor or physical therapist to ensure that you are doing the right exercises at the appropriate time in your recovery.
In the early stages of healing, you may need to rest your injured shoulder or arm and avoid movements that could worsen your injury. This could mean immobilizing the affected limb with a sling or brace.

Lean onto a table with your good arm, letting your affected arm dangle forwards in front of you.
Using gentle movements of the body, let this arm swing backwards, forwards, side to side, and in circles.
The more you lean your body forwards, the more you will exercise the arm.

Take your hand out in front of you and place it up against the wall.
Walk your fingers all the way up the wall as high as you can go.
Make sure your shoulders are pointing straight towards the wall and you do not hunch your shoulders.
Walk your fingers back down to the starting position.

Lie on your back holding a stick in both hands.
Place your affected hand on the end of the stick.
Using the effort of your other arm, raise your affected arm up towards the ceiling, then up over your head.
Hold this position where you feel a stretch.
Control the movement, and keep your arm relaxed as you lower it back down.

Lie on your back holding a stick in both hands.
Bring your affected elbow out to your side at shoulder height with your hand pointing towards the ceiling.
Your elbow should be at 90 degrees holding the stick with your forearm vertical.
Keeping your upper arm rested on the floor, rotate the stick overhead as though trying to reach the back of your hand to the floor ahead.
Control the movement as you bring your forearm back to the vertical position and repeat.

Hold a stick in both hands and hold it in front of you.
Push across your body with your good arm, lifting your affected arm out to the side.
Be careful not to hunch your shoulders up or twist your body around.
Control the movement back down carefully.

By incorporating these exercises into your daily routine, along with maintaining good posture and being mindful of your movements, you can help alleviate pain and improve your overall condition.
