How to Shoulder Abduction Stretch

Starting Position

Stand with your arms naturally at your sides, ready in an upright position.

Proper Form

1. Slowly raise your arms to the side and lift them up.

2. Raise them to shoulder height.

3. Slowly lower them back to the starting position.

4. Repeat rhythmically for 10 to 15 times.

Breathing Technique

Inhale when you raise your arms, and exhale when you lower them.

Precautions

Don't shrug your shoulders and lift them; move comfortably. Don't use momentum, and raise and lower slowly. Engage your core to avoid arching your back.
