Stretching

10 minutes of each training session

Bring your training arm bent behind your neck. With the opposite hand, pull behind the elbow of the training arm so that the elbow is pressed against the opposite shoulder, causing an increasing stretch. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the opposite side.

Stand in a door frame or similar. Bring your arm slightly backwards and hold your hand against the door frame. Press your arms against the frame so that there is an increasing stretch on the front of your shoulders. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds and 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 arm stretched down at your side with your hand slightly clenched. Rotate your arm so that your thumb is moved inwards and maximally backwards. Then bend your wrist to the maximum so that the back of your hand is facing downwards and that it tightens on the outside of your elbow. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Relax for 5 seconds.

Stand with your arms slightly out to the side and palms facing forwards. Bring your shoulder blades together (imagine holding a pencil between your shoulder blades). Hold the position for 10 seconds. Relax for 10 seconds.

Sit on a chair with your arms stretched out behind your back and your hands together. Immediately lift your arms backwards and upwards so that there is an increasing stretch on the front of your shoulders. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Relax for 20 seconds.

Stand with your training arm in front of your body. With your opposite hand, press behind your elbow on the training arm so that your elbow is pressed against the opposite shoulder, causing an increasing stretch on the outside of your shoulder and upper arm. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the opposite side.

Strength

50 minutes of each training session

Stand with arms straight and both hands against the wall. Put your weight on your hands and pull the shoulder blade back and forth.

Sit with your training arm on a table. Place your hand on a cloth. Put a small amount of weight on your arm and wipe the cloth back and forth on the table top.

Sit or stand at a table with your training arm hand on a ball. Apply light pressure on the ball and roll the ball in all directions.

Stand with a ball and hit it into the ground so that it bounces back and forth between the training arm and the healthy arm.

Stand slightly bent over a chair/table and support with your healthy arm. Let the training arm hang limply towards the floor. Hold a weight (or a bottle of water). Lift your arm/shoulder straight up towards the ceiling by using your shoulder blade muscles. Hold the tension for a few seconds and slowly bring the arm back to the starting position. Keep the arm straight throughout the exercise. The load can be increased by holding heavier objects in your hand.
