Then there are arm circles, these are initially done while lying down as this puts less tension on the shoulder. The circles movements are made in the air with the elbow. First small circles and than bigger ones as the pain reduces. Even shapes can be made like digits and alphabets etc, anything that would free up the shoulder muscles.

Another exercise is one where the muscles are stretched. Lightweight articles are given to the patient and the patient is expected to raise them in slow movements. Then another one is where a towel was kept behind his back and held in both hands. Then with the arm, which has the problem, the towel is pulled upwards and this is repeated giving the shoulder motion.
