Three ways to stretch your shoulder
Below we will introduce 3 ways to stretch your shoulder:
1. Standing Wall Stretch
This is a great shoulder stretch you can do at the office because it's simple and doesn't require getting on the floor.
To perform the standing wall stretch, place both hands on a wall so they form a 90-degree angle to your body. Carefully walk both feet back until your arms are straight, and then bow, hinging forward at the hips.
Holding this pose, keeping your shoulder blades set back and avoid bunching your shoulders around your neck.
2. Cow-Face Pose
To achieve this shoulder stretch, reach your right arm straight up, then gently bend your elbow and let your hand fall behind your head.
Move your left arm behind your back and bend the arm, letting the back of your left hand rest against your shoulder blade.
Now reach up to grab the fingertips of your right hand with the left. Repeat this stretch on both sides.
4. Shoulder Rotation
Stand with your back to a wall. Rest your scapula in a neutral position and bring your elbows out to 90 degrees. Now, without moving the position of your elbows, turn your right arm upward so that the back of your right hand touches the wall.
At the same time, move your left arm downward so that your left palm touches the wall.
Be sure to keep your arms at 90 degrees, and switch back and forth every 30 to 60 seconds.
