Cross-Body Shoulder Stretch
Rear deltoid & shoulder release
How to
Bring one arm straight across your chest at shoulder height, then use the other forearm to gently press it closer to your body. Keep the shoulder of the stretching arm relaxed down, away from your ear.
Benefits
- Loosens the back of the shoulder after overhead activity
- Counters the rounded-forward shoulder posture of desk work
- Simple enough to do seated at a desk
Practice
Hold 20-30 seconds per side, keeping the pressing arm gentle rather than forceful.
