Box Shoulder Stretch Against Wall

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01Place a stable box or bench against a wall and rest both hands on top about shoulder width apart.
2. 02Step backward and hinge at your hips until your torso is nearly parallel to the floor.
3. 03Keep your elbows straight and gently lower your chest between your arms to open the shoulders and upper back.
4. 04Maintain light abdominal tension so the movement comes from the shoulders rather than excessive lower-back arching.
5. 05Hold the pain-free stretch while breathing slowly, then bend your knees and walk forward to come out.
