If I only get to do two exercises on a day, I do arm lifts and Wall Angels.

• Lie on your side with a cushion to support your head.
• Very slowly, raise your arm up straight and then back down to touch the floor.
• As with all exercises start off at your own pace and then work up. I do three sets of ten on each arm
• When you’ve got a bit more used to that add weights. I started off with those weights that are supposed to strap onto your leg and then got slightly heaver ones.
• It’s important to go slow

There are a few key exercises that you should add to your daily exercise routine. The main one is called angel wings. Both my own physio and Dr Casparelli highly recommend it, it’s both a strenghtening exercise and a postural realignment exercise. Like a lot of the exercises you will find here, it’s much harder to do than it looks, depending on the state of your arms.

• Your feet should be a little bit apart and a few inches away from the wall
• Your shoulders should keep in contact with the wall
• Do three sets of 10 or a straight run of 30 if you can manage it
• Do a few times a day if you can. They’re easy to do in a bathroom cubicle
• I’m usually groaning with pain by 30 but see if more or less is more suitable to you
• It’s important to keep your shoulders horizontal, a mirror helps, or you can use the straight line from tiles on a wall.
• And no laughing at my video! (even if it does have a creepy anonymous mask.)
