Your shoulder does not need to carry the weight of the arm during this movement, and you can focus on the exercise without unnecessary provocation of pain. Step 1: Sit facing a table. Place one hand on a towel on the table with your elbow straight out. Place your other hand on your leg to provide support for your back. Step 2: Slide your hand forward on the table while sliding on the towel. Once you move your arm to approximately 90 degrees of shoulder flexion, bring it back to the starting position while pushing down on the towel. Step 3: Perform 10 repetitions per set and three sets.
