This Shoulder Extension Mobility exercise aims to increase the mobility of your shoulder, specifically it moving backwards. Improving this mobility will make activities such as getting dressed or reaching behind you easier.
In standing whilst holding a pole or a broom stick, take the arm you're working on straight backwards. Make sure your torso remains upright and doesn't rotate with the movement. You can use your other hand to apply some gentle pressure to the pole or broom to make sure you are getting to the full end of range. You should feel the shoulder muscles being stretched during this movement but it shouldn't produce any sharp pain.
To make this exercise easier you can perform this without the pole or broom, or simply reduce the distance you are moving backwards.
Aim to complete the reps and sets as suggested in your rehab programme.
If you find this exercise helpful, there are a number of other shoulder mobility exercises on our channel.
