This stretch helps activate and release the muscles between your shoulder blades—perfect for easing upper back tension, improving posture, and building shoulder control.
How to Do It:
- Lie on a foam roller aligned along your spine, with your head and tailbone supported.
- Reach your arms forward like you’re hugging a tree.
- Spread your shoulder blades apart, feeling a stretch across your upper back.
- Then gently squeeze your shoulder blades together before reaching forward again.
- Complete 10 controlled reps.
This movement encourages mindful shoulder blade mobility, which can reduce stiffness and improve posture—especially after a long day of sitting or working at a desk.
