Shoulder Pulley for Physical Therapy and Shoulder Recovery

Shoulder Pulley for Physical Therapy and Shoulder Recovery

Recovering from shoulder surgery or injury? A shoulder pulley is a simple, doctor-recommended device that helps restore range of motion and reduce stiffness—all from your doorway at home.

What Is a Shoulder Pulley?

A shoulder pulley system is a physical therapy tool with handles and a cord that loops over a door. It allows you to perform controlled, low-impact exercises to stretch and strengthen the shoulder joint.

Who Is It For?

Shoulder pulleys are perfect for:

  • Post-surgery rehab (e.g., rotator cuff repair, frozen shoulder)
  • Individuals recovering from strains or shoulder impingement
  • Seniors experiencing limited shoulder mobility
  • Physical therapy patients transitioning to at-home recovery

Key Benefits

  • Increases shoulder range of motion
  • Reduces stiffness and promotes flexibility
  • Helps restore function after surgery or injury
  • Gentle and low impact – great for daily rehab
  • Compact and easy to install over any standard door

How to Use It

Install the pulley over a door and sit or stand comfortably. Grasp the handles and use your stronger arm to lift the affected arm in a controlled motion. Follow your physical therapist’s recommended routine—or start with 10–15 slow reps per side, once or twice a day.
