How to do the Banded Shoulder Flexion exercise
-
Stand on one end of the band with your foot. The foot should be on the same side as your affected shoulder.
-
Grab the other end of the band with your affected hand and lift it straight in front of you, keeping your elbow straight and your thumb pointing upward. Avoid retracting your shoulder or letting it shift forward.
-
Slowly lower your hand back to the starting position.
