During this stretching exercise, be careful not to arch your back.
- Face a wall, standing so your fingers can just
touch it.
- Keeping your shoulder down (don't shrug up toward your
ear), walk the fingers of your injured arm up the wall as high as pain permits.
- Hold that position for at least 15 to 30
seconds.
- Slowly walk your fingers back down to the starting
position.
- Repeat at least 2 to 4 times, trying to reach higher
each time.
