MOVE WITH EASE · 2 MIN
A little space for your shoulders
A gentle seated movement for a day spent looking down or sitting still.
A CLEAR REASON TO BEGIN
Why try it?
Moving your upper body through a comfortable range gives your shoulders a change from a held position. This is a simple mobility practice, not a treatment for an injury.
TAKE YOUR TIME
Let’s give it a try.
- 01
Find a steady seat
Sit upright on a firm chair with your feet on the floor. Let your shoulders settle and cross your arms comfortably over your chest.
- 02
Turn a little, not a lot
Keep your hips facing forward. Slowly rotate your upper body to one side, only as far as feels easy.
- 03
Return and change sides
Pause briefly, return to the middle and try the other side. Start with a few slow turns, without forcing the stretch.
Keep it comfortable.
Keep breathing normally. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness or new symptoms. If you have an injury or restricted movement, ask a health professional which movements are suitable.
