Standing Back Rotation Stretch
Equipment
Extend your arms straight out to your sides, keeping them at shoulder height, and clasp your hands together.
Slowly rotate your upper body to the right, keeping your hips and lower body stationary, and hold this position for about 20-30 seconds.
Return to the center position and then rotate your upper body to the left, again holding for 20-30 seconds.
Repeat this exercise for a set of 5 to 10 times on each side, ensuring to maintain a slow and controlled movement throughout.
Pro Tip
Control Your Movement: Avoid quick or jerky movements that could strain your muscles or spine. Instead, rotate your upper body slowly and gently to the left and right. The movement should come from your waist, not your hips. Don't Overstretch: Overstretching can lead to injuries. When you rotate, go only as far as it feels comfortable. You should feel a gentle stretch, not pain. If it hurts, you've gone too far. Engage Your Core: Engaging your core muscles can enhance the effectiveness of this stretch. Tighten your abdominal muscles as you rotate, which can help support your lower back and prevent injury. Breathe Properly:
