Weighted D2 Shoulder Flexion
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a rehabilitation technique used to increase flexibility and range of motion. In PNF, we often use the D2 shoulder flexion movement to increase strength and endurance.

Step 1: Sit in a chair and hold a weight in one hand. It should be something that you can comfortably lift overhead.
Step 2: Rest your hand holding the weight on your opposite hip, with your palm facing your hip. Try to reach past your hip without overly rotating your shoulder.
Step 3: In one smooth move, extend your hand upward and outward across the front of your body, as if you’re drawing a sword and holding it up with your arm fully extended. Let your arm do most of the movement.
Step 4: Slowly lower your arm back down. This counts as 1 repetition. Try to perform 15 repetitions with each arm.
