Viv's tips: Shoulder Exercises

SHOULDER ELEVATION


While laying down on your bed:

1). Begin with shoulders relaxed,
2). Pinch shoulders upward toward your ears (shrug them up),
3). Repeat this in sets of 3 or 4 about 2 or 3 times.
4). Try doing this throughout the day.

NOTE: There should be some tension release during this process. You can also do this standing up straight or sitting up straight.



SCAPULAR RETRACTION
(Shoulder blade squeeze)



While standing up straight do the following:

1). Stand with your arms on your side,
2). Pinch shoulder blades together (squeeze),
3). Repeat this in sets of 3 or 4 about 2 or 3 times.
4). Try doing this throughout the day, if possible.

NOTE: There should be some tension release during the process. You can also do this standing up straight or sitting up straight.
I hope and pray these tips are helping someone today:)
