Feel like you are wearing your shoulders like earrings? Sometimes our lifestyle really tightens up our shoulders and lower back, between desk work, driving, scrolling phones and all the other things life throws at us this ends up being super common.
Did you know that just because something feels tight doesn't always mean it needs stretching? Sometimes you need movement! Here are my go tos when my shoulders and back are hurting me.
Cat Cow stretch (not to be confused with fat cow - long story but a client misheard me onetime when I said cat cow and thought I called her a fat cow, we have laughed about that for years)
Thread the Needle (I seriously love this one)
Wall Slides
Instructions on how to do these are in the slides above (I made AI generat these as I didn't have time to put a video together today but wanted to make sure you know how to do them.)
These movements can help you build more mobility and range of motion and gently help loosen up that tight upper back and shoulder area.
You don't have to spend hours to show your body a little love.
Try these during your next work break and see how you feel after! (remember don't go to pain, just move where your body is comfortable) Tell me which one was your favorite in the comments! Don't forget to save this to come back to again.
