Exercises for Shoulder Pain

Before attempting any exercises, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause of your shoulder pain and to ensure that the exercises are safe for you to perform. Depending on the cause of your pain, exercises may help to alleviate pain and strengthen the shoulder muscles.

Here are some exercises that may be helpful for shoulder pain:

Pendulum stretch: Stand with your unaffected arm resting on a table or chair for support. Lean forward and allow your affected arm to hang down. Swing your arm in a small circle for 10 to 15 rotations in each direction.

Shoulder blade squeeze: Sit or stand with your arms at your sides. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and hold for five seconds. Repeat 10 times.

Wall push-ups: Stand facing a wall with your arms extended and your palms on the wall at shoulder height. Slowly bend your elbows and lean towards the wall, then push back to the starting position. Repeat 10 times.

Shoulder circles: Stand with your arms at your sides. Slowly circle your shoulders forward for 10 repetitions, then circle them backward for 10 repetitions.

Doorway stretch: Stand in a doorway with your arms at your sides. Place your hands on the doorframe at shoulder height. Step forward with one foot, feeling a stretch in your chest and shoulders. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat on the other side.

Remember to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of the exercises as your shoulder pain improves. If you experience any increased pain or discomfort during or after exercise, stop and consult with your healthcare professional.
