Instructions

Step 1: Hold the towel in one hand and drape it over your shoulder and down your back. If you are stretching your right shoulder, the towel should be placed over your left shoulder and be held in your left hand.

Step 2: Reach behind your back with your other hand and grip the towel. Gently pull the towel up and allow your hand behind your back to move across and up your back. A gentle stretch should be felt on the front or side of your shoulder.

Step 3: Once you feel a stretch in your shoulder, hold the position for 10 seconds, and then slowly release the stretch.

Important Tip: Do 10 reps of 3 sets each. Be sure to move slowly and avoid sudden or jerking motions.
