If you have access to a swimming pool (deep water), put a noodle under your arm pits and simply hang in the water. I always do this after I do my other aqua routines and swimming. Do it for at least 5 minutes - keep your spine straight and exert a little push with your feet toward the bottom of the pool. I did this before my surgery and I still do it now. Hopefully you have a YMCA or public pool nearby - if you haven't tried the water yet - you will be amazed at the relief it provides. Jeff's 'child pose' is good too.
Have a blessed and pain free day
