📋 Remedial Instructions

  1. 1Stand facing a wall about 3/4 of an arm's length away. Using your affected arm, reach and touch the wall at about waist level with your fingertips.
  2. 2Slowly walk your fingers up the wall like a spider as far as you can comfortably.
  3. 3Your elbow should be slightly bent and your fingers are doing the work not your shoulder muscles.
  4. 4If you need, stop every few inches and consciously relax the shoulder muscles.
  5. 5Slowly lower your arm (with the help of your unaffected arm if necessary).
  6. 6Repeat 5-10 times.
⚠️ Rapha Clinic Notice: Move smoothly without bouncing. Hold stretches for 30s. If any unexpected pain increases, suspend activity immediately.
