Here is the best example I could find. He should find a good Physical Therapist, however, he will probably put him on this regimine for strengthening the suprespinatus.

The example is poor, but the best I could find on the net. Have him lie on his side with 1 pound dumbells then have his elbow at his side and raise the weight. Don't have him lift his arm up like in the example's.
