I fractured my right shoulder on a walk last August. After months of physiotherapy until late December I had a final follow up with my physiotherapist at the end of February. He gave me a few different exercises to do a few times a week. My left arm extends 170 degrees my right arm extends 160 degrees. 180 degrees is the desired angle. He says I have graduated. I asked when I could stop doing the exercises, he said I should always be exercising, that makes sense doesn't it?
I started doing some cardio workouts on youtube again. Luckily I saved my favourite videos on this blog here.

Thanks for the link , these are useful exercises!!
Yes, exercise is so important. And it's so much easier to do if we make it fun.
I exercise daily :-) So don't stop!
It never hurts to keep doing your exercises.
Great that it's all good again now!!!

Yupp, same here. But all in all we are still lucky, right? We can exercise! Walk and all that.
Hopefully you get there. Keep doing the exercises! My range of movement in my left ankle is still very poor, it's gonna take time they said. At least I can walk though :-D
Your recovery is on track, and your physiotherapist’s advice is spot on, as maintaining regular exercise will help you preserve and gradually improve your shoulder mobility over time
I feel for you. My frozen shoulder is still not where my doctor wants my shoulder to be either...so I had to get another steroid shot. So yes, I have to keep exercising too. Also my middle finger on my left hand pops, but at least it doesn't hurt, anymore.
Je te souhaite également, en passant, un bon après-midi, une belle soirée et une douce nuit.
Prends bien soin de toi.

Good morning so glad yuo healed well
I would echo your physiotherapist's advice. When I finished therapy for a sore shoulder I stopped doing the exercises. Eventually it started hurting again (but I was able to re-strengthen it by pulling out the papers that listed the exercises and doing them again).
Physio therapy works. we just have to do what they say. If they say 10 reps 4 times a day you have to do it.
Great link. Thanks.
The best advice to staying well is continuing to exercise, Christine. Your doctor is spot on!
I agree with all the above.
I need to get to my exercise routine.
Yes, you're right. Keeping practicing is the best thing to do.
Desejo que fique bem, é sempre bom fazer exercícios, Christine bjs.
Exercise is good ... motion is lotion to our bodies.
Obviously take care and adjust any exercise to our own personal situation, needs, requirement.
All the best Jan
I'm glad it's coming along so well. It always takes a lot of time, doesn't it?
Yes, always keep movement going. It helps us so much.
I feel it's harder to exercise ANY part of the body the older we get. I'm not looking forward to old age!
Good to know you are progressing. The injuries seem to take a long time healing. Thanks for that link. I am going to check that out.
It's great that the shoulder has recovered.
It is so smart that you saved those cardio videos on your blog; it makes getting back into a routine so much less of a chore when you already know you love the workouts. Just be careful not to overdo it at first, even if you are feeling like a superhero.
Ouch! I'm so sorry you've had to go through this, Christine. I'm doing PT for vertigo right now. It's hard to keep remembering to do the exercises.
I'm so happy that you made such a great recovery (not 100%, but close!) which is so much better than surgery.
