Exercises for Shoulder Pain

Shoulder rehabilitation and strengthening exercises with tips from Dr. Saleh Atiyah

Appropriate shoulder exercises help restore range of motion, strengthen surrounding muscles, and reduce pain long-term. The exercise program varies according to the diagnosis and stage of the problem. Early and regular exercises accelerate healing and prevent shoulder stiffness, especially in frozen shoulder cases.

The pendulum exercise is one of the most important initial exercises for shoulder pain. It is done by leaning forward and letting the affected arm swing gently in small circular motions using gravity. This exercise helps improve shoulder movement without pressure on tendons and the joint.
