Seated Shoulder Flexor Depresor Retractor Stretch

Expert Advice

Ensure you're seated comfortably with a straight back to avoid compensating with your lower back during the stretch.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the ground.
  2. Extend your arms straight in front of you at shoulder height.
  3. Draw your shoulder blades down and back, retracting them as you stretch.
  4. Hold the position for 15-30 seconds, then release.
  5. Repeat the stretch 2-3 times, focusing on the retraction of the shoulder blades.
