Stretching
15 minutes of each training session
Sit on a chair with your arms stretched out behind your back and your hands clasped together. Immediately lift your arms backwards and upwards, so that you feel a gradually increasing stretch across the front of your shoulders. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Relax for 20 seconds.
Sit on a chair. Place your left hand on the right side of your head, whilst your right hand holds onto the seat. Gently pull your head to the left and hold it there with your right arm, so that you feel a gradual stretch in the right side of your neck. Move your head in different directions (forward/backwards) so that all the muscles around your neck are stretched. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds each time. Repeat the exercise on the other side.
Stand in a doorframe or similar. Extend your arm slightly behind you and rest your hand against the doorframe. Press your arms inwards against the frame so that you feel a gradually increasing stretch across the front of your shoulders. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds, then move your arm up and down the door frame and repeat the stretch so that different parts of the muscles are stretched.
Stand with your hands clasped behind your back. Bring your shoulder blades together (imagine you are holding a pencil between them). Hold the position for 10 seconds. Relax for 10 seconds.
Stand with your working arm held in front of your body. Use your free hand to press behind the elbow of your working arm so that the elbow is pushed towards the opposite shoulder, creating a gradually increasing stretch on the outside of the shoulder and upper arm. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the other side.
Stand with your arm stretched out at your side, your hand slightly clenched. Rotate your arm so that your thumb is turned inwards and as far back as possible. Then bend your wrist as far as possible so that the back of your hand is facing downwards and you feel a stretch on the outside of your elbow. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Relax for 5 seconds.
Strength
45 minutes of each training session
Stand with your arm bent at a 90-degree angle against a wall. Press your arm against the wall and hold the position for 10 seconds. Relax for 10 seconds
Secure an exercise band at elbow height. Stand facing the band. Hold the resistance band in your working arm with your upper arm held down alongside your body and your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle forwards, so that your forearm is pointing towards the resistance band. Pull slowly backwards to stretch the band. Hold the stretch for a few seconds and slowly return your arm to the starting position. Your elbow should remain bent throughout the exercise.
Attach an exercise band at elbow height. Stand with your upper arm hanging down alongside your body and the back of the elbow on your working arm against the attachment point of the exercise band. Keep the elbow of the working arm bent at a 90-degree angle. Grasp the band with your hand, with the back of your hand facing the ceiling. Slowly stretch your arm forwards so that the band tightens, whilst rotating your hand so that the back of your hand faces the floor. Hold the tension for a few seconds and slowly return your arm to the starting position.
Secure an exercise band at elbow height. Stand with the working arm furthest from the band and grasp the band with the hand on the working arm. Keep your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle and held close to your body throughout the exercise. Rest your forearm and hand against your stomach. Rotate your forearm out to the side so that the resistance band is taut, and hold the position for a few seconds before slowly returning your arm to the starting position.
Lie on your back. Hold one end of an exercise band with your unaffected arm, placing it over the shoulder of your affected arm. Hold the resistance band in the hand of the arm being exercised, which is stretched up towards the ceiling, so that the band is taut. Slowly move the arm being exercised “even further” up towards the ceiling, so that the shoulder blade lifts off the floor and the resistance band tightens even more. Hold the tension for a few seconds and slowly return the arm to the starting position
Fastgør en træningselastik i hoftehøjde. Stå med træningsarmen længst væk fra elastikken. Hold elastikken med hånden på træningsarmen. Før armen strakt ud fra kroppen, så elastikken strammes. Hold spændingen i få sekunder og før langsomt armen tilbage mod kroppen igen.
Stand leaning slightly over a chair or table, supporting yourself with your unaffected arm. Let the arm you are exercising hang loosely down towards the floor. Hold a weight (or a bottle of water). Lift your arm/shoulder straight up towards the ceiling using the muscles of your shoulder blade. Hold the tension for a few seconds and slowly return your arm to the starting position. Keep your arm straight throughout the exercise. The load can be increased by holding heavier objects in your hand.
