Shoulder Exercise Resources

Review the shoulder movements and resistance options selected during your visit.

A reminder of movements you may have been shown in the office—not an individual exercise prescription for every visitor. Your personal care instructions come first.

Exercise pictures use AI demonstration models—not Dr. Goldstein or real patients. Follow your individual care instructions.

Before You Begin · Safety & Setup

Use the band and comfortable range shown during care. Follow any injury or surgical restrictions. Do not add resistance on your own.

Do not exercise a suspected fracture, dislocation or major new injury. New significant weakness, inability to move the arm, deformity, persistent numbness or severe pain needs medical assessment first.
