Reaching Behind Your Back Stretch

Starting Position

Stand up, lift one arm up, and send the other arm down behind your back.

Proper Form

1. The arm raised above bends at the elbow and lowers the hand behind the back.

2. The lower arm bends at the elbow and raises the hand upwards behind the back.

3. If the hands touch, hold each other; if not, bring them as close as possible.

4. Maintain this position for 10 to 20 seconds when you feel a stretch in your shoulders.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you grab your arm, maintain the stretch, and breathe naturally.
