There is no place that you can't do rehab. I started out by using my right hand to hold my left hand and touch all the 4 in. square tiles in front of me. About 8 rows by 7 columns. This was to get both my bicep and pec to relax. I started this while still using the shower bench, I now do it while standing. Entering the shower I lift my left foot over and back the 4 in. high threshold 10 times, trying to keep my lower leg hanging straight down. I hold my left hand under the spray trying to overstimulate the senses.
My most painful experience in the shower was when I was still using the shower bench. I had an ingrown toenail on my left big toe. I sneezed and violently kicked the left foot into the wall six inches away. The big toe led the way, the tile wall was not fazed. It's amazing the speed you can generate in 6 inches, if I tried to do it willfully it would have been a love tap.
Ask your therapist for their recommendations in the shower, and make sure you ask for research proof that it is effective.
