Wall push-ups Supplemental exercise

With the onset Lyme disease, last summer, several of my joints were severely impacted for months, including my shoulder on the right side. Since this was less impactful to my daily routine than my ankle and knee swelling,  physical therapy to deal with the issue is just getting underway.

One of the things that seems to be helping and could be more beneficial in a much broader sense are these wall push-ups. Suffice it to say I cannot put the kind of pressure on my shoulder that would be required for floor push-ups of any kind. However I can actually hit 100 wall push-ups without any real pain and minor discomfort. 

I think adding this to my routine as a senior for exercise long-term is a good idea. The attached is an overview of how to perform wall push-ups beneficially.
