Pendulum & Wall Walk for Frozen Shoulder
Overview:
Gentle, gravity-assisted mobility exercises crucial for the 'thawing' phase of Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder). These movements help lubricate the glenohumeral joint and stretch the thickened joint capsule without causing severe pain.
**Pendulum:** Lean forward, supporting your healthy arm on a table. Let your painful arm hang completely relaxed.
Gently swing the hanging arm forward and backward 10 times.
Swing it side to side 10 times.
Move it in small circles clockwise and counter-clockwise 10 times each.
**Wall Walk:** Stand facing a wall. Walk your fingers up the wall as high as you can without severe pain.
Hold the highest position for 10 seconds, then slowly walk fingers back down.
