Sit on a chair with one hand on your head and the other holding the chair seat. Slowly draw your head to the side while resisting with the opposite arm so that the muscles on the side of the neck become increasingly stretched.

Stand with the injured arm in front of your body. With the opposite hand, press the elbow of the injured arm towards the opposite shoulder, so that the upper part of the arm and the outer shoulder experiences increased stretching.

Sit on a chair holding the back of your hands under the lower part of the back. Press your elbows forwards and inwards so that the muscles on the back of the shoulder joint become increasingly stretched.

Stretching is carried out in the following way: stretch the muscle group for 3-5 seconds. Relax for 3-5 seconds. The muscle group should subsequently be stretched for 20 seconds. The muscle is allowed to be tender, but must not hurt. Relax for 20 seconds, after which the procedure can be repeated. The time consumed for stretching, coordination and strength training can be altered depending on the training opportunities available and individual requirements.
