9. Exercises to Improve Shoulder Range of Motion

A variety of different exercises can help improve the range of motion in the shoulder. Before starting any exercises, have a warm shower or apply a heating pad to warm up the joint. Some sample exercises include the pendulum stretch, where a person leans over an object with the arm extended downward and slowly allows the arm to swing like a pendulum. The towel stretch requires taking a towel behind the back and the cross-body reach stretches out the shoulder by reaching across the body.
