Chest and Shoulder Stretch

Sit or stand nice and tall.

Slowly glide your head backward and tuck your chin through to the back of your neck (dorsal glide).

Lift both of your arms, bending them at your elbows, with your hands at the level of the top of your head. Your palms should be facing up. The position of your arms should resemble the one when someone says, "hand up," and you raise your arms.

Take a deep breath. Upon exhaling, drop your elbows down and take your arms behind your back. You will feel your shoulder blades gliding down and together, along with a gentle stretch across your chest and shoulders.

Hold for a count of 6 seconds and relax while slowly returning to the starting position.

Aim for at least 2 to 4 reps.
