More Detailed Information
Standing Reverse Shoulder Stretch
How to Do:
Starting Position: Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart. Keep your chest lifted and shoulders relaxed.
Arm Placement: Bring both arms behind you and clasp your hands together, or place your hands on opposite elbows.
Stretch: Slowly raise your arms as high as you can, feeling a stretch across your shoulders, chest, and upper back.
Hold: Maintain the stretch for 20-30 seconds, ensuring your arms are extended as far as possible without straining.
Release and Repeat: Slowly lower your arms back to the starting position. Repeat for 2-3 sets.
Benefits:
This stretch targets the shoulders, chest, and upper back, improving flexibility and mobility in the shoulder joint. It helps open up the chest, counteracting tightness from forward-slumped postures, such as sitting at a desk. Regular practice enhances shoulder flexibility, reduces tension, and improves posture, particularly for those with tight or stiff shoulders from upper body exercises or sedentary activities.
