About exercises for the rough shoulder
Normally the shoulder is flexible, allowing the shoulder to maintain its usually large range of motion. When shoulder tissues become thickened or scarred, they lose their normal resilience, suppleness, strength, and smoothness. Even if you have had an injury or if there is some arthritis in your shoulder, it is likely that you can benefit from a simple home program to optimize your shoulder's comfort and function. Before beginning these exercises you should consult with your physician.
There are three components to the home program for rough shoulders. The first is a series of stretching exercises, the second involves strengthening and coordination, and the third relates to regular participation in a fitness program.
