Shoulder Stretch

Welcome to your Workout of the Week!  This month’s WOW’s will focus on stretching your shoulders.  Typing and excessive electronic use can cause your shoulders, neck, and chest to become stiff and sore.   Regular stretching can alleviate the pain and increase your range of motion.

This month we have Dr. Ryan Carver, Chief of Joy and Meaning in Medicine (JAMM).  Dr. Carver is active on his off days and loves to perform strength training, aerobic activity, and stretching.  He has a busy schedule but still finds time to exercise and practice self-care.  Way to go Dr. Carver and you are an inspiration!

Exercise: Shoulder stretch.

How to perform: Stand up tall place your right arm across your chest and pull your right elbow with your left hand.  Ensure the elbow is straight and look over your shoulder as you stretch.

Duration: Hold for 30 seconds and repeat on both sides.
