The stick-assisted shoulder flexion exercise in a supine position is a gentle mobility drill that helps restore overhead range of motion. Lying on your back provides support while the stick guides the movement, reducing strain on the shoulder. This exercise is ideal for post-surgery rehab, stiffness after injury, or improving shoulder mobility for daily and sporting activities.
- Come into a lying position unless directed otherwise.
- Take the stick with both hands and straighten the elbows.
- Using the unaffected arm predominately, guide the stick overhead to the point of comfort and slowly return to the start posture.
- Repeat for the designated number of repetitions as advised by your Physiotherapist.
