Triceps Stretch

Technique

How to perform Triceps Stretch

1. Raise one arm overhead and bend that elbow so the hand rests behind your head or toward your upper back.
2. Place your other hand just above the raised elbow.
3. Use light assistance to guide the elbow while keeping your trunk steady rather than arching to gain range.
4. Hold a comfortable stretch with relaxed breathing and without forcing the arm farther.
5. Release the assistance and repeat on the other side.
