Lean over next to a table, with your left arm supporting your weight on the table.
Relax your right arm and let it hang straight down.
Slowly begin to swing your right arm in a small circle. Gradually make the circle bigger if you can. Change direction after 1 minute of motion.
Next, swing your right arm backward and forward. Then move it side to side. Change direction after 1 minute of motion.
Repeat these movements for about 5 minutes.
Switch sides and repeat if instructed.
Do this exercise 3 times a day, or as often as instructed.
