Clavicle Fracture Advanced Exercise Programme
1. Overhead press
- In sitting or standing hold a weight at shoulder height with your palm facing forward.
- Press the weight above your head until your elbow is straight.
- Lower your arm down in a controlled manner.
- You may use household items if you do not own any weights.
2. Standing single arm wall press up
- Stand approximately one small step away from the wall.
- Place one hand chest high on the wall so that your elbow is slightly bent.
- Bend your elbow to take your head and shoulders closer to the wall.
- Push against the wall to return to starting position.
3. Drop and catch (Scaption)
- Stand and hold a small weight out at shoulder height over a soft surface.
- Try not to lift straight out in front of you or out to the side, instead go in between these positions as shown in the picture.
- Drop the weight and immediately catch it with the same hand.
We recommend consulting a musculoskeletal physiotherapist to ensure exercises are best suited to your recovery. If you are carrying out an exercise regime without consulting a healthcare professional, you do so at your own risk. If you have any concerns whilst completing these exercises, please contact a healthcare professional.
