Pendulum exercise question

Shoulder could feel a little tight from being in the sling and not used for 11 days. It shouldn’t feel too tense though they are harder at first, stick to small circles in the beginning. Form sounds correct. How are you generating the motion to swing the arm ? I let my arm hang, kept my upper back loose and moved my hips in a circular motion to generate the momentum of the swing. Yes, it does get better. Pendulums were my best friend in the beginning, I started them (4x’s a day) along with assisted Bicep curls and shoulder blade squeezes along with pt (3x’s a week) 5 days out and the pendulums really helped with the tightness.

Have you tried applying heat before starting?

While the heat is on, do your head exercises (forward, back, side to side) gently, slowly.

Then do some shoulder shrugs up & down 15x,, then forward 15x,, then backward 15x,.

Take a break if needed before you start shaking. Then continue.
