Shoulder Range of Motion (ROM) Exercises
Shoulder active range of motion (ROM) exercises can help improve shoulder joint mobility. These exercises may be prescribed if you have a shoulder condition, such as shoulder pain, that causes limited mobility in your shoulder and arm. Shoulder ROM exercises help you move the affected joint in all directions that it should be able to move.
