Description
A shoulder pulley is a simple exercise tool used to improve range of motion and promote healing in the shoulder joint. It typically consists of a strap that hooks over a door, a pulley system with a rope, and two handles at the end of the rope.
Benefits:
- Improved Range of Motion (ROM): Shoulder pulleys help gently stretch and move the shoulder joint through its full range of motion. This can be especially helpful after surgery, injury, or conditions that limit shoulder movement, such as frozen shoulder.
- Increased Blood Flow: The pulley motions can help improve blood circulation in the shoulder joint, which can aid in healing and reduce pain.
- Pain Relief: Shoulder exercises with a pulley can help loosen tight muscles and tissues around the shoulder joint, which can contribute to pain relief.
- Strengthens Muscles: Over time, with regular use, shoulder pulley exercises can help strengthen the muscles that support the shoulder joint, improving stability and function.
- Easy to Use: Shoulder pulleys are a safe and easy-to-use tool that can be used at home as part of a rehabilitation program or to maintain shoulder health.
