💪 Exercise of the week 💪
The exercise of the week is DOORWAY STRETCH!
This stretch is a simple upper‑body stretch performed using a door frame or a wall to gently stretch the muscles of the chest and the front of the shoulders. This helps improve posture, shoulder mobility, and more!
How to Perform the Doorway Stretch:
1. Stand in a doorway.
2. Place one forearm or both forearms on the door frame with elbows bent to about 90 degrees.
3. Step one foot forward and gently lean your chest forward through the doorway. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat 3 times.
4. Keep your shoulders relaxed and down—do not shrug.
5. You should feel a gentle stretch across the chest and front of the shoulders.
As always, consult with your physical therapist or physical therapist assistance if unsure about proper technique.
