Setup

Lie on your back holding a cane or stick with both hands, arms resting on your thighs.

Movement

Using your non-surgical arm to push the cane, raise both arms up and overhead as far as comfortable, keeping the surgical arm relaxed. Slowly lower back down.

Tip

Let the healthy arm do all the pushing — the surgical arm just goes along for the ride.
