  • Shoulders Stretch Variation One

    Reach one arm behind your body, with your elbow pointing upward behind your head.
    Assist the stretch with your other hand on your elbow to engage your shoulder.
    Pause for a few seconds, then repeat the stretch with your other arm.

  • Shoulders Stretch Variation Two

    Start with your arms at either side. Begin by pushing your shoulders forward and in towards your chest.
    Continue the circular motion with your shoulders, pinching up towards your ears, and then extending your chest outwards while you finish the motion.
    Repeat as necessary.

  • Shoulders Stretch Variation Three

    Place the top of your hand into the small of your back, your arm at a 90 degree angle.
    Hold your elbow with the other arm, and slowly pull the arm forward until you feel your shoulder engaged in the stretch. Pause at the apex of the stretch and return to the starting position.
    Return to starting position, and repeat with your other arm.

  • Shoulders Stretch Variation Four

    Stand with you feet shoulder width apart. Place one arm across the front of your chest at shoulder height, press the forearm of your other arm above the elbow, hooking the stretching arm with your hand.
    Press the arm until it is straight and rotate your upper torso to engage the stretch even deeper.
    Repeat with your other arm.
