Chest Stretch

This improves your ability to reach behind yourself.

  • Sit upright in your normal chair. Sit tall away from the back of the chair.
  • Reach behind with both arms and grasp the chair back, then press your chest upwards and forwards until you feel a stretch across your chest and the front of your shoulders.
  • Hold for 10-20 seconds.
