It's a regimented process to adhere to after this type of surgery. |

As a follow-up to shoulder surgery, strengthening of the shoulder muscles were of utmost importance, according to my orthopedic surgeon.
The regimen of specific shoulder exercises I have graduated to the last 4 years has been sometimes neglected by me, but not forgotten.
The regimen I have been instructed to do, done properly, takes just under 30 minutes total, to perform on both shoulders. Rubber band resistance is essential to maintain shoulder muscle readiness, so as not to be prone so easily to injury. It's quite the strengthening workout, and simple to perform once you learn the several specific band stretching necessary to perform.
The band stretching is based on an isometrics-like; holding against resistance for 3-seconds in the resistant mode, then resting for 3-seconds, before repeating for either 15 or 20 times on each exercise.
As a brush-up, I did the routine late Sat. afternoon before supper. Took me the usual 30-minutes, then I had a chance to watch the end of the New England Patriots beat the Indianapolis 'Horseshoes,' ha! as well as doing some walking Up-a-grade on a treadmill for 15-minutes! The football game AND the exercise regimen did not disappoint! The stretching of band-resistance was prescribed every other day. Wow! Just a great set of exercises to do.
