chest opener - igyb

hi i'm dr steph vos, a chiropractor based in grand marais mn, and i've got your back! today is a great chest opener and all you need is a doorframe. learn more at https://www.drstephvos.com/post/chest...

start by standing right in the center of an open door. bring your arm up to your side in a goalpost, elbow level with your shoulder. place your forearm on the doorframe and keeping your elbox, forearm, and wrist in contact with the door, begin to walk your body and torso forward until you feel a nice gentle stretch through your pectoral muscles.

you can then adjust the stretch by adjusting your elbow, bringing it higher up or lower down, to get to different fibers and spots that need a little bit more care!

don't push on this too hard - it's better to stay with a gentle stretch for a longer period of time. let the rest of your body relax as much as possible.

repeat on the other side and allow for it to be different - you might need and want different things on the opposite shoulder!

this is a great stretch to stay open through our center. so often we're at a desk or carrying a lot with our arms or just habitually hunched over, and while it's important to strenthen the postural muscles on our backs, it's also important to open up and lengthen the muscles on the front!

as always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me through my website :: drstephvos.com
