Flexibility: "Door Shoulder"

OBJECTIVE: Open up front of shoulders.

1. Stand in doorway with one arm straight and outstretched to side.

2. Twist your body carefully away from the door jam allowing your shoulder to “open up” & stretch on the front side.

3. Hold stretch 20-30 seconds then switch arms.

Tips: This is one of the easiest shoulder stretches to perform--even for those extremely tight.  Just go easy as you twist the shoulder open.

• If the other shoulder stretches are too difficult--come back to this one.  I haven't seen anyone yet that could not do a proper Door Shoulder Stretch.  It's very user-friendly.
