Stand facing a wall while holding the ball against the wall with one hand, near
shoulder height, in a comfortable position.
Gently activate your shoulder blade stabiliser muscles and maintain your shoulder
blade position against your ribs, as you make small up and down movements with
your arm and the ball on the wall.
