The Upper Back Stretch exercise is a great way to relieve tension and tightness in the upper back and shoulders. This stretch helps improve flexibility and mobility in the upper body.
How to perform
Step by step instructions:1. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and your arms hanging by your sides.
2. Interlace your fingers behind your back, with palms facing each other.
3. Slowly straighten your arms and lift them up behind you, keeping your back straight and chest lifted.
4. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, breathing deeply and relaxing into the stretch.
5. Slowly release the stretch and bring your arms back down to your sides.
6. Repeat the stretch 2-3 times, focusing on relaxing and releasing tension in the upper back and shoulders.
7. Remember to breathe deeply and listen to your body - if you feel any pain or discomfort, ease off the stretch or stop altogether.
