How Do You Do Bicep Stretches For Shoulder Physical Therapy?
Rehabilitating your shoulder can be quite a long process. No matter how it became injured, greatly reducing the use of one of your arms for a period of time can be a tough adjustment. Here are some tips on how to do a bicep stretch for your shoulder as part of a physical therapy program. Straighten your elbow so that you fully extend your arm. Pull back your fingertips to initiate a stretch for your bicep and shoulder area. Make sure your palm is up. Also you just need a little pressure on your fingertips as this stretch goes counter to the normal position of your elbow. Hold this position for 30 to 60 seconds to complete this stretch. Reach behind your body with your arm so that it is as parallel to the ground as you can make it. Grab the molding on a door frame, or edge of a door to enhance the stretch. By gently pulling your body away the stretch will intensify. Hold this stretch for 30 to 60 seconds to get a complete stretch.
