Summary: The shoulder, comprised of many muscles and three different joints, can be a particularly difficult area to workout and proper technique is essential to avoiding injury. When recovering from a shoulder injury physical therapy exercises are an integral part to regaining range of motion, muscle elasticity, and strength. These exercises can also be used to strengthen uninjured shoulders and serve as warm ups before weightlifting.
