Setup

Stand next to a table or counter. Lean forward and support yourself with your non-surgical arm, letting your surgical arm hang straight down, completely relaxed.

Movement

Gently shift your body weight in small circles so your relaxed arm swings in small circles like a pendulum. Reverse direction. You can also let it swing forward-and-back and side-to-side.

Tip

Your arm stays completely relaxed — the swing comes from your body rocking, not from your shoulder muscles.
