Shoulder Surgery - Post-op Week 1 Exercises | Tim Keeley | Physio REHAB

Ok here are the week 1 post-op exercises for my shoulder surgery. Basically it’s complete passive ROM for the shoulder as it’s about not letting it stiffen up from being in the sling 24/7. I am in this full on sling day and night so I have to get the arm out of the sling 3-4 times a day and do these exercises. To be honest the hardest thing was getting in and out of the sling to do the exercises!

As the surgeon said, the most important thing right now is let it heal. This period of time is about being patient and consistent as it is the best opportunity to get solid healing of the repaired tendons, and then the rehab and strengthening will be so much better afterwards.

Exercises are:
1️⃣ Elbow flexion / extension (initially passive now active). Needs pillow support.
2️⃣ Forearm pronation / supination.
3️⃣ Wrist flexion / extension.
4️⃣ Passive Shoulder flexion (cradled)
5️⃣ Passive Shoulder abduction / adduction (rock-the-baby)
6️⃣ Passive Shoulder external rotation with a pole.
