Centra: How To Strengthen Shoulders After Total Replacement

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO ABOUT MY SHOULDER PAIN?

Once you get your shoulders moving again, there are some exercises you can do on your own to make sure they stay strong. Follow the exercises below to maintain and continue to build your shoulder strength: 1. Position yourself in front of a wall. Begin by lightly pushing your forearms into the wall, while also sliding your arms up. Make sure to keep your back flat. Raise your arms as high as you can without feeling pain, while keeping your shoulders down. Do the same when bringing your arms back down. This trains your body to strengthen your shoulders and raise your arms without substituting the neck muscles. 2. Simple shoulder and neck rolls are good starting points for getting your joints moving and muscles relaxed, which can both help to reduce pain. Get your shoulders moving once again!
