Physical Therapy in Elmhurst & Flushing for Shoulder

Sit with your head and back erect and your right arm at your side.  Bend your elbow between 20°-90°, with a  weight in your hand.  Raise the arm out to the side, keeping the bend in the elbow. Stop just before shoulder height and lower slowly to your side.  Breathe throughout the exercise. Use a weight, hold and repeat as advised by a Physical Therapist at Energize Physical Therapy.

The straighter the elbow is, the more intense the exercise becomes; however, the elbow should always have a slight bend.
