  • Place a small rolled up towel between the elbow of your affected arm and the side of your body; bend your elbow to 90 degrees
  • Use the stick to gently push into the hand of the injured arm
  • Your arm should slowly rotate outward, while maintaining a 90 degree angle at the elbow, keeping it on the towel
  • Rotate the arm until a stretch is felt
