Description
Hold a stick or PVC pipe with both hands in front of you. Keep the elbow of the arm you want to stretch tucked against your side. Use the other hand to push the stick horizontally, rotating your forearm outward. Stop when you feel a gentle stretch in the back of your shoulder. Keep your hips facing forward and avoid twisting your torso. Hold the position for the desired duration and repeat on the other side.
