Sore Shoulder Exercise Guide

These stretching and strengthening exercises for your shoulder should be done only if they don't cause pain. Try to do these exercises twice a day. If you don't have hand weights, you can use a 15 or 16 ounce can of soup instead. If you have weights, start out with a low weight and increase the weight after you become comfortable. Don't use more than five pounds of weight. For exercises with an exercise band, the further you stand from the door, the more resistance the band gives. Start close to the door and move back until you find a comfortable resistance. For all of these exercises, start by doing three sets of 10 repetitions and work your way up to three sets of 20.
