How to Standing Back Stretch

Starting Position

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend one elbow and place your palm behind your head.

Proper Form

1. While placing your hands behind your head, slowly bend your upper body to the side.

2. After returning to the starting position, place the opposite hand behind your head and repeat the same movement.

3. Continue alternating slowly from side to side.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you lean to the side, and inhale when you come back.

Precautions

Do not bend your upper body forward, only move sideways. Do not use momentum and avoid straining your lower back.
