Follow these playlist video examples of our fitness expert Laura and see the proper ways to stretch your Shoulders.
We recommend stretching your shoulders using all 6 techniques at our YouTube video channel. These stretching techniques are low in impact but high in results.
Shoulder stretching can have several benefits, including:
Improved flexibility and range of motion in the shoulders: Stretching can help to increase the flexibility and range of motion in the shoulders, which can be helpful for activities that require a lot of arm movement, such as swimming or playing sports.
Reduced muscle tension and soreness: Tight muscles can cause discomfort and pain, and stretching can help to relax and loosen the muscles in the shoulders, reducing muscle tension and soreness.
Improved posture: Tight muscles in the shoulders can contribute to poor posture. Stretching the shoulders can help to improve posture by helping to align the muscles in the shoulders and upper back.
Better circulation: Stretching can help to improve blood flow to the muscles in the shoulders, which can help to reduce fatigue and improve overall muscle function.
Stress relief: Stretching can be a relaxing and calming activity, and it can help to reduce stress and tension in the body, including in the shoulders.
Should stretching be painful to get results? No, stretching should never be painful, so either reduce the intensity or stop.
