Is there an effective way to massage shoulder and forearm after rotator cuff surgery?

Discuss...: Discuss this with your physical therapist. They will be able to add a massage component to your rehab. This will help relieve the tightness in your forearm.

See below: Forearm: however you want. Shoulder: very carefully as you do not want to disturb the surgical site.
