Cross Body Shoulder Stretch
Instructions
- Sit up straight with your back upright and shoulders relaxed.
- Extend one arm in front of the body at shoulder height, keeping it straight (without bending the elbow).
- Use the other hand to pull the extended arm in the opposite direction, crossing it in front of the chest.
- You should feel a gentle stretch in the back of the shoulder and upper back, and hold it this way for the proposed time.
Tips
- Do not force the arm beyond the comfortable point; the stretch should be firm but painless.
- Avoid leaning or twisting the torso to compensate for the movement.
- Keep the neck relaxed and the shoulders away from the ears.
