EXERCISE USE

INSTRUCTIONS Cradle your injured / surgery arm in the other by holding the forearm up to the elbow. Stand in a hip-hinge type position. Slowly lift the injured arm up by using the power of the good arm, completely relaxing the injured arm in the 'cradle' of the good arm. Only move to tolerable pain with a height / degree limit set by your practitioner.
