Tight shoulders or upper back tension? Try these simple stretches to improve mobility and relieve discomfort:
1️⃣ Cat-Cow Stretch – On hands and knees, arch your back up (cat) and then drop your belly while lifting your chest (cow). Repeat 10 times.
2️⃣ Thoracic Extension on Chair – Sit in a chair, clasp hands behind your head, and gently arch your upper back over the chair back. Hold 10–15 seconds, repeat 3 times.
3️⃣ Doorway Chest Stretch – Place forearms on a doorway frame, step forward to stretch chest and shoulders. Hold 20–30 seconds, repeat 2–3 times.
4️⃣ Thread the Needle – On hands and knees, slide one arm under your body and rotate your torso to stretch the upper back. Hold 15–20 seconds per side.
Add these to your daily routine and feel the difference over time. Need guidance? Our therapists at Odyssey can create a personalized plan for your mobility goals. 💪🩹
