Codman exercises

Codman exercises, also known as pendulum exercises, are gentle shoulder movements designed to improve mobility and reduce stiffness after injury or surgery. You stand or bend slightly at the waist, letting your arm hang freely. Using your body’s momentum, you gently swing your arm in small circles or back-and-forth motions. These exercises help promote blood flow, loosen the shoulder joint, and encourage healing by maintaining gentle movement without stressing injured tissues. They are typically recommended by healthcare providers as part of a rehabilitation program for shoulder injuries.
