Isometric Shoulder Abduction

Setup

Stand sideways next to a wall, surgical arm at your side with the outside of your hand or elbow against the wall.

Movement

Press your arm gently outward into the wall as if raising it to the side — nothing moves. Hold 5 seconds, then relax.

Tip

Keep your trunk still — press with the shoulder, don't tip your body toward the wall.
