HOW TO DO SHOULDER STRETCH BEHIND BACK
SHOULDER STRETCH BEHIND BACK / BENEFITS
The shoulder flexibility test assesses the ability to bring hands together from behind, indicating shoulder range of motion. Results vary from excellent to poor based on finger overlap or distance.
HOW TO DO:
Start by reaching your right arm overhead and behind your neck, touching your upper back.
Lift your left arm and bring it around your left side to your lower back, then reach upward toward your right hand.
Note if hands touch or are close, overlapping, and if one side feels tighter.
Repeat on the other side.
BENEFITS:
Regular shoulder stretching relaxes and strengthens muscles, enhancing flexibility and mobility. This routine improves shoulder function and may benefit triceps, back, and chest muscles.
Dynamic vs. Static Stretching:
Dynamic Stretching: Active movements before workouts increase heart rate and prepare muscles for movement, enhancing circulation and range of motion.
Static Stretching: Done post-workout, holds stretches in place to loosen muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons, improving flexibility and range of motion. Hold each stretch for 20 to 45 seconds, repeating 2 to 3 times.
