The Shoulder Rope is an easy-to-use, simple device designed for preventing and rehabilitating shoulder joint complaints.
Its use gradually improves the shoulder's range of motion and helps strengthen the rotator cuff muscles and other shoulder joint muscles. This is important for regaining full shoulder mobility and range of motion after shoulder surgery or for those suffering from shoulder impingement, shoulder muscle weakness, or stiff shoulders.
Recommended for mobilizing frozen shoulder, post-surgery or fracture movement therapy, treatment of rotator cuff injuries and inflammations, and more.
The product can be attached to any door using an "anchor." Simply place the anchor at the top of the door, then close the door so that the anchor is secured firmly.
The anchor holds a pulley connected to a rope and two handles. Moving one arm pulls the opposite arm and assists with exercise.
The goal of the exercises is to use your healthy arm to assist in improving the range of motion of your painful shoulder.
Since one end of the rope is in your "good" hand and the other in your "bad" hand, connected through a pulley, the movement of your good hand supports the motion of your affected side.
Move the painful shoulder in the given direction up to the limit "as far as it allows." Hold that position for 10-15 seconds, then slowly lower it. Rest for a few seconds, then repeat the exercise 10-15 times before trying a different exercise. It is important to exercise the shoulder in every movement direction!
Perform the movements with an intensity that causes no or minimal pain on the affected side. Don’t be overly cautious, as the goal is to progressively increase your range of motion!
Start with only a few repetitions during the first session, but try to do more with each subsequent session. Avoid overdoing it! Muscles that have been painful or unused for a long time may react to sudden excessive load with inflammation. So gradual progression is key!
Place a chair near the door and sit facing it. Hold a handle in each hand. With your non-painful arm, gently and slowly pull the rope straight back and down. Meanwhile, the painful arm moves forward and up. Hold for 10-15 seconds. Release and repeat 10 times.
Sit with your back to the door. Hold a handle in each hand. Raise your non-painful arm upward, then move it forward and down slowly and carefully. Meanwhile, your painful arm moves upward from below (fully extended). Hold the end position for 10-15 seconds, then release. Repeat 10 times.
Sit with your back to the door. Hold a handle in each hand. Raise your non-painful arm upward, then slowly and carefully move it forward and down. Meanwhile, your painful arm moves upward from below with elbow bent. Hold the final position for 10-15 seconds, then release. Repeat 10 times.
Sit with your back to the door. Hold a handle in each hand. Extend your non-painful arm sideways, 45 degrees upward, then slowly and gently lower it. Meanwhile, your painful arm moves upward from below. Hold for 10-15 seconds, then lower and repeat 10 times.
Sit sideways next to the door with your painful arm on the outside. Raise your non-painful arm, then move it forward and down slowly and carefully. Meanwhile, your painful arm moves from outside in front of your body. Hold the position for 10-15 seconds, then lower. Repeat 10 times.
Sit sideways next to the door with your painful arm on the outside. Raise your non-painful arm, then carefully and slowly move it forward and down. Meanwhile, your painful arm moves from outside behind your back. Hold for 10-15 seconds, then lower. Repeat 10 times.
