Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I understand your concern. You need to regain and maintain your shoulder range. We need to assess your shoulder for your current movements to see how the movements are getting restricted and cause pain. Based on this, we can design a proper rehabilitation plan.

I suggest you to follow a few instructions mentioned below.

You can try icing your shoulder.
Do some exercises like wall creeping. And also, practice scapular stability exercises like scapular squeezing.
Also, kindly share your reports with me.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
