My doctor stressed the importance and benefits of early ambulation and range of motion exercises. One exercise that I found very simple and effective was front arm raises (gently raise your above you're head as if to be reaching for the sky.) In addition, I found that physical therapy expedited my recovery process and got me back on my feet faster than expected!
