Shoulder pain can limit the ability to perform daily tasks at home, work or even enjoying recreational activities. Rehabilitating a shoulder after surgery, injury or other ailments often involves physical or occupational therapy to loosen the shoulder and increase shoulder flexibility to help minimize pain.

Using a shoulder pulley helps your good arm to raise and lower the affected arm to allow for simple, gentle, self-controlled exercises. Therapists as part of the rehabilitation protocol will most like recommend continuing these types of exercises at home. For this reason, this pulley was engineered to be a high-quality affordable shoulder pulley that performs well for both professional and personal use.

• Use on a door with little to no traffic
• Place the pulley on the side of the door that doesn’t open towards you.
• Be sure the door is closed and locked if possible.

• Give the shoulder pulley a gentle tug to make sure it is anchored in place.
• If you want the Economy Shoulder Pulley to remain in place, purchase the Shoulder Pulley Kit with Bracket so the Shoulder Pulley can hang in place ready to use on a high traffic door.
