About the JPL Technique

The JPL technique was created by Doctor Jean-Pierre Liotard in Lyon, France and has been utilized by physicians and physical therapists throughout the world.  It allows for early, patient-controlled range of motion after shoulder surgery to improve range of motion and reduce pain levels.

The exercises begin on post operative day 3 until 6 months after surgery. The JPL Technique includes 3 phases of exercises. Your good arm does the work. The movements progress as tolerated and should never be painful.
