Round The World Shoulder Stretch

Technique

How to perform Round The World Shoulder Stretch

1. Stand with the feet comfortably apart and hold a light dowel in front of the thighs with a wide overhand grip.
2. Keep both elbows straight and raise the hands together so the dowel passes overhead.
3. Continue the arc behind the body toward the back of the hips while keeping the torso upright.
4. Reverse the same arc, taking both hands overhead and returning the dowel to the front.
5. Use a grip width and range that allow the elbows to remain straight without forcing the dowel farther behind you.
