How to Cross Body Shoulder Stretch

Starting Position

Stand or sit and extend one arm straight forward at chest height.

Proper Form

1. Slowly bring your outstretched arm towards your chest.

2. With the opposite arm, grab above or below the elbow and gently pull it towards your body.

3. Hold for 10-20 seconds while feeling a stretch in the back of your shoulder.

4. Slowly release the tension and return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when pulling your arms, and breathe naturally while holding.

Precautions

Keep your elbows straight and do not bend them. Do not raise your shoulders towards your ears; keep them relaxed. Do not overdo it to prevent the tension from turning into pain.
