1.pendulum stretch do this exercise first. Relax your shoulders. Stand and lean over slightly, allowing the affected arm to hang down. Swing the arm in a small circle — about a foot in diameter. Perform 10 revolutions in each direction, once a day. As your symptoms improve, increase the diameter of your swing, but never force it. When you're ready for more, increase the stretch by holding a light weight (three to five pounds) in the swinging arm. 2. Towel stretch hold one end of a three-foot-long towel behind your back and grab the opposite end with your other hand. Hold the towel in a horizontal position. Use your good arm to pull the affected arm upward to stretch it. You can also do an advanced version of this exercise with the towel draped over your good shoulder. Hold the bottom of the towel with the affected arm and pull it toward the lower back with the unaffected arm. Do this 10 to 20 times a day. 3. Finger walk face a wall three-quarters of an arm's length away. Reach out and touch the wall at waist level with the fingertips of the affected arm. With your elbow slightly bent, slowly walk your fingers up the wall, spider-like, until you've raised your arm as far as you comfortably can. Your fingers should be doing the work, not your shoulder muscles. Slowly lower the arm (with the help of the good arm, if necessary) and repeat. Perform this exercise 10 to 20 times a day. 4. Cross-body reachsit or stand. Use your good arm to lift your affected arm at the elbow, and bring it up and across your body, exerting gentle pressure to stretch the shoulder. Hold the stretch for 15 to 20 seconds. Do this 10 to 20 times per day. 5. Armpit stretch using your good arm, lift the affected arm onto a shelf about breast-high. Gently bend your knees, opening up the armpit. Deepen your knee bend slightly, gently stretching the armpit, and then straighten. With each knee bend, stretch a little further, but don't force it. Do this 10 to 20 times each day. Starting to strengthen as your range of motion improves, add rotator cuff–strengthening exercises. Be sure to warm up your shoulder and do your stretching exercises before you perform strengthening exercises. 6. Outward rotationhold a rubber exercise band between your hands with your elbows at a 90-degree angle close to your sides. Rotate the lower part of the affected arm outward two or three inches and hold for five seconds. Repeat 10 to 15 times, once a day. 7. Inward rotation stand next to a closed door, and hook one end of a rubber exercise band around the doorknob. Hold the other end with the hand of the affected arm, holding your elbow at a 90-degree angle. Pull the band toward your body two or three inches and hold for five seconds. Repeat 10 to 15 times, once a day. Shoulder exercises and stretches regular exercises and stretches can keep your shoulder strong and flexible.

Here are three of the best (and safest) exercises to treat an acl injury when first starting out: •heel slides involve the extension of the knee without bearing any weight. Start by sitting on the floor with your legs outstretched. Slowly bend the injured knee while sliding your heel across the floor toward you. Slowly slide the foot back into the starting position and repeat 10 times. •isometric contractions of the quads are also done seated. For this, you would need to sit on the floor with your injured leg extended and your other leg bent. Now slowly contract the quadriceps of the injured knee without moving the leg and hold for 10 seconds. Relax. Repeat 10 times. •prone knee flexion involves lying on your stomach with your legs straight. Now bend your injured knee and bring your heel toward your buttocks. Hold five seconds. Relax. Repeat 10 times. When first starting, forget the adage "no pain, no gain. While you will likely experience discomfort when exercising the quads and hams, back away from any movement that causes outright pain. Pushing too hard can make matters worse and result in lengthier recovery time. Rehab exercises for after the swelling subsides as the swelling of your knee begins to subside, you should gradually be able to stand squarely on both feet without favoring the uninjured leg. When you are fully able to do this, you can start adding the following exercises: •passive knee extensions require two chairs of equal height. Place the chairs facing each other at a distance slightly shorter than the length of your leg. Sit in one chair and place your heel on the seat of the other. Relax your leg and allow your knee to straighten. Rest in this position one to two minutes several times a day to gradually stretch out the hamstrings. •heel raises are done while standing. Start by placing one hand on the back of a chair for balance. Now slowly lift the heel of your injured leg up, standing on your tiptoes. Stay there for five to 10 seconds. Slowly lower your heels. Repeat 10 times. •half squats are done standing while holding a sturdy table with both hands. Placing your feet a shoulder’s width apart, slowly bend your knees and lower your hips into a half squat. Hold for 10 seconds and then slowly return to a standing position. Repeat 10 times. •knee extensions require either a theraband or a length of an exercise band. To begin, loop one end of theraband around the leg of the table and the other around the ankle of your injured leg. (alternately, tie both ends of the exercise band around the table leg and insert the ankle of your injured leg into the looped end.) facing the table, slowly bend your knee about 45 degrees against the resistance of the tubing. Hold for a few seconds and slowly return to a standing position. Repeat 10 times. •standing on one leg is a great way to build and evaluate your strength and balance. Do so by lifting the uninjured leg and standing unassisted on the injured leg for 10 seconds. This exercise may not be so easy at first, but, with time and patience, you should able to do so while a few weeks.
