Reaching Behind Your Back Stretch

Reaching Behind Your Back Stretch gif

Coach's Tips

This stretch increases your shoulder mobility. It’s great for improving posture and flexibility.

Stand and raise one arm overhead, sending the other behind your back.

1. Bend your top arm so your hand goes behind your back.

2. Bend your bottom arm so your hand goes up behind your back.

3. Grab your hands if you can, or bring them as close as possible.

4. Hold for 10-20 seconds when you feel the stretch.

Exhale as you pull your arm and keep breathing naturally

Keep your torso straight without arching your back. If you can't reach, use a towel or band. Stop when you feel a stretch, not pain.
