Follow the steps in order. Move in a comfortable range unless your provider said otherwise.
- Hinge at the hips and let the affected arm hang toward the floor, supporting yourself with the other hand on a table.
- Relax the hanging shoulder completely.
- Sway your body to create small circles or forward-back swings — the arm should flop, not muscle through.
- Reverse direction halfway through.
