Person performing shoulder stretch

Stretching exercises help to stimulate blood flow and reduce muscle tension. It's a good idea to perform a couple of stretches several times each day.

Demonstration

In this image a shoulder stretch is demonstrated. To perform this exercise, stretch your arm above your head, cradle your elbow with your other hand and gently pull the elbow behind your head. Hold for 10 seconds and repeat several times. This exercise reduces tension in the shoulders and back.

Remember to stretch regularly through the day.
