Exercise: Wall Angels
How to perform:
- Setup: Begin in a standing upright position with your back against a wall.
- Movement: Raise your arms out to the side with your elbows bent to 90 degrees, and rest them against the wall. Slowly slide your arms straight up the wall, then lower them back to the starting position and repeat.
- Tip: Make sure to keep your back and arms in contact with the wall, and do not shrug your shoulders or arch your lower back during the exercise. Only raise your arms as far as you can without causing pain.
Duration: Perform 1 set for 10 reps, 3x per day.
