Shoulder adduction is easily done at home with an exercise band. Standing while holding arm to exercise toward the wall and holding the arm up and out to the side and the elbow straight with the palm down. With appropriate tension on the band pull the hand toward the body without bending the elbow and keep the palm pointed down and toward the body. Slowly return to the starting position. Repeat 2 sets of 15 reps.
