My latest physiotherapy move is designed to help my shoulder stay seated in place.
Emily demonstrated the move, arm out sideways and bent at the elbow up. Gripping a tension band rotate the hand down, parallel to the ground and back up.
“Oh it’s like the waving cat statues!”
“Yes!” Emily grinned “A Lucky Cat!”
It’s a classic silly little move that hones in on a weakness. I could only do 4 reps and completed the remainder without tension.
I’m grateful for more days pain free. I’m glad I’m seeing progress. It’s very slow but definitely happening.
Strength has returned to my left hand. The nerve pain has retreated to my shoulder. I have a buffet of simple exercises I use to keep the healing on track.
If I’m very lucky I’ll be able to have a full range of motion in 2026.
