Shoulder Stretches - Day 3 Wall Crawls
- Start by standing tall facing the wall, shoulder blades slid down your back, and navel pulled to spine
- Soften your knees, bending one (start on right side), and extending the other one behind you (pushing that heel into/toward the floor)
- Place your right hand on the wall, elbow level with shoulder then slowly finger walk up the wall until you feel a mild to moderate stretch, then down again
- Additionally, and alternately, spread fingers, push your palm into the wall. then release pressure
- Repeat 5 to 10 times but STOP if you feel (un grateful) pain!
- Repeat using left side and left leg etc
- Turn sideways with right hip at the wall
- Step left foot back so you're on the ball of your foot
- feet should be hip distance apart
- right knee should be over right ankle
- slowly lunge/push forward into the right leg keep hips facing forward
- to increase stretch, finger walk arm away from body so it ends up horizontal to the floor and the palm is facing the wall
- repeat 3 times each side but STOP if you feel (un grateful) pain!
