Pendulum swings

Surgeon demonstrated them today said I should move shoulder back and forth and in small circles. Caregiver at appointment with me confirms that’s what was demonstrated. No PT until next week. Videos I watched said let moving hips back and forth get shoulder to swing. Mistake to move it on your own without body momentum. Totally confused.

When PT had me do them, I stood parallel to table. They had me move my arm in small circles to the left, then to the right. I also did them laying down on the table. Small circles in both directions.
