The Actimed Shoulder Pulley is a simple, cost-effective rehabilitation tool designed to help improve shoulder range of motion. This over-door pulley system uses a durable webbed strap that easily anchors to most standard doors, allowing you to do gentle, controlled shoulder mobility exercises at home, in a clinic, or while traveling.

Key Features & Benefits

• Improves shoulder mobility & flexibility: Supports active-assisted exercises, enabling gradual gains in shoulder flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation — essential for physio and rehab.

• Compact and portable: Lightweight design with a door strap makes it easy to set up anywhere — perfect for home rehabilitation, clinical settings, or while on the go.

• Easy to use: Two non-slip handles connected by a rope let you control the motion safely and smoothly. 

• Affordable rehab tool: An inexpensive way to support recovery from shoulder injuries, post-surgery rehabilitation, or reducing stiffness after long periods of immobility.

• Clinically relevant: Pulley exercises are commonly used in physiotherapy to restore shoulder range of motion after surgery, injury, or for conditions such as adhesive capsulitis. 

  
  

  
  

Why Use the Actimed Shoulder Pulley

Physiotherapists often prescribe pulley exercises because they let you use your good arm to help move and mobilize the affected shoulder, promoting gentle stretching and gradual improvement in flexibility. This method is supported by research: for instance, a randomized controlled trial found that pulley-based rehab did not lead to worse outcomes following rotator cuff surgery. 

Who It’s For

• Patients recovering from shoulder surgery, such as rotator cuff repair

• Those dealing with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) or post-injury stiffness

• Anyone doing home-based physiotherapy or mobility training

• Clinics, rehab centers, and gyms looking for a low-cost shoulder rehab tool

  
  

  
  

Usage Tips

1. Anchor the webbed strap securely over a stable door.

2. Hold both handles, with one arm relaxed and the other pulling gently.

3. Perform slow, controlled motions — do not jerk or force the pulley.

4. Use daily as prescribed by your physiotherapist, increasing the range gradually as mobility improves.
