The light-ball shoulder throw is a controlled plyometric exercise used in shoulder rehabilitation to restore strength, coordination, and endurance. By bouncing the ball against a wall and catching it, the movement challenges joint stability and reaction speed while keeping impact low. It’s effective for retraining functional throwing patterns and building confidence after injury.
- Come to a standing position holding a ball in your affected limb.
- Bring your arm up into an abducted position so your elbow is in line with your shoulder.
- Keep the ball close to the wall and throw the ball against the wall.
- Catch the ball, keeping the arm in the same position.
- Repeat as per physiotherapist guidelines.
