Sleeper Stretch
Shoulders · Bodyweight
How to do it
- Lie on your side on a firm surface, on the side you want to stretch.
- Raise that arm to shoulder height in front of you, elbow bent 90 degrees, fingers pointing up.
- Using your other hand, gently press the raised forearm down toward the floor.
- Stop when you feel a stretch at the back of the shoulder; do not force through pain.
- Hold for the set time, release, and repeat before switching sides.
