Shoulders: Elbows Back

Standing, seen from behind, elbows bent and squeezed toward each other behind the back

Stretching should be uncomfortable yet pain-free.

Dr. DeWitt recommends these stretches to his patients. If one hurts, stop.

How

  1. Stand or sit. Bend your elbows and move them backward.
  2. Squeeze them toward each other, as if you were trying to touch them together behind your back, until it is uncomfortable, and hold.
