Shoulder pulley exercises
Shoulder pulleys are a relatively simple exercise tool, but they are also incredibly effective. Designed so that they can attach to most doors, they can then be used from either a sitting or standing position. Your exercise pulley will be easy to use, providing you with the necessary resistance to build up strength in the shoulder. This is ideal after surgery or an injury to help you with rehabilitation.
There are a range of shoulder pulley exercises available, and your physiotherapist will be able to advise you on the right exercise for your needs. One popular exercise is to sit in a chair with your back to the door. With the pulley in each hand, you then raise one arm overhead while pulling the other arm down for resistance. Repeating this according to your physiotherapist will help to improve shoulder flexion.
