Hands Behind Back Stretch

Welcome to February! This month’s WOW’s will focus on stretching out your shoulders. The shoulder area is a complex joint and contains essential muscles and ligaments, which can become tight and tense with excessive computer use. Try performing the stretch below if you start to develop tightness or tension in the shoulder area.

Exercise: Hands behind back stretch.

How to perform: Start by sitting or standing up tall. Interlace your fingers behind your back and lift your hands up. Keep your chest lifted and look up to deepen the stretch in your shoulder.

Duration: Hold for 20 to 30 seconds and then switch to the other side. This stretches out your shoulder and chest.
