💗5 Easy Shoulder Relief Stretches✨

Welcome back angels 😇

Have you ever experience sore shoulders, neck pain and round back problem? 🥺

Here’s a solution you can try to alleviate tension, improve flexibility, and promote overall shoulder health.

Whether you spend long hours at a desk, engage in repetitive movements, or participate in sports activities, these stretches can help reduce discomfort, enhance range of motion, and prevent potential shoulder injuries.👍👍👍

✨Here is 5 simple stretches to follow!✨

1. Overhead shoulder stretch:

Stand or sit up straight and reach one arm straight overhead. Bend your elbow and let your hand drop behind your head. With your other hand, gently pull the elbow of the raised arm towards the opposite side. You should feel a stretch in your shoulder and the back of your upper arm. Hold for 15-30 seconds and then repeat on the other side.

2. Chest stretch:

Stand in a doorway with your arms at a 90-degree angle and your forearms resting against the door frame. Step forward slightly, allowing your chest to open up and stretch. You should feel a gentle stretch across the front of your shoulders and chest. Hold for 15-30 seconds.

3. Overhead stretch:

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and interlace your fingers above your head with your palms facing upward. Gently push your arms upward, lengthening your spine and stretching your shoulders. You should feel a stretch in your shoulders, upper back, and arms. Hold for 15-30 seconds.

4. Down Dog:

Start on your hands and knees, with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Press your palms into the ground and lift your hips up towards the ceiling, straightening your legs as much as possible. Your body should form an upside-down "V" shape. Press your chest towards your thighs and relax your neck. You should feel a stretch in your shoulders, upper back, and hamstrings. Hold for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

5. Cactus:

Stand with your feet hip-width apart and extend your arms out to the sides at shoulder height, with your palms facing forward. Bend your elbows to 90 degrees, creating a "cactus" shape with your arms. Gently squeeze your shoulder blades together while keeping your chest lifted. You should feel a stretch across your chest and shoulders. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds.

Usually I will do it once to twice a week or when needed. Do try it out and let me know your feedback!
