This exercise is shoulder rolls, and its aim is to keep the shoulders mobile and the neck muscles relaxed.
In sitting or standing, with your arms relaxed by your side, simply move your shoulders up and around in circles. Go in one way, and then change direction.
Follow the advice in your rehab programme for the suggested number of reps or duration you need to perform.
We’ve built a number of free tools to get people started on their road to recovery including recovery programmes for Common Conditions, a Programme Builder for clinicians, a library of Exercise videos like this one, and our General Rehab Programmes across various body parts. Our mission is to make physiotherapy accessible to everyone and our growth relies on our users spreading the word and supporting the work we do.
