- The initial phase of this program is meant to stimulate blood flow and circulation in the area of pain without provoking the symptoms
- Movements will address shoulder stability/strength, wrist mobility and gentle elbow mobilization
- If any of these movements cause an increase in pain, either skip that movement or try to do it short of pain
- Movement #1: elbow ext mobilization
- Do this lightly and short of significant pain
- Do not hold, move slowly in and out 10-15x
- This can be done lightly throughout the day but I emphasize short of significant pain
- Movement #2: Shoulder Stability: Prone extension or band tricep extension
- 8-20 reps or either
- Band Tricep Extension
- Prone extension
- Movement #3: Band Pull Apart: Adjusting hand position may make this less painful if it hurts
- 8-20 reps
- Supine Option
- Standing Option
