Across Chest Shoulder Stretch
Equipment
Take your opposite hand and gently pull the extended arm across your chest towards the opposite shoulder.
Hold this position for 20 to 30 seconds, ensuring you feel a stretch in your shoulder, but not pain.
Slowly release your arm back to the starting position.
Repeat this exercise with your other arm, ensuring to perform the same number of stretches on each side.
Pro Tip
Gentle Pull: When performing the stretch, your hand or arm should gently pull your other arm across your chest. Avoid using excessive force or jerky movements, as these can strain or injure your shoulder. The stretch should cause tension, but not pain. If you feel discomfort, lessen the intensity of the stretch. Use the Right Arm Position: Your arm should be straight or slightly bent, but not flexed at the elbow. Flexing the elbow can reduce the effectiveness of the stretch and put unnecessary pressure on the joint. Hold and Breathe: Hold the stretch for at least 15-30 seconds and remember to breathe normally. Holding your breath can cause tension in
