shoulder stretch
Arm-joint flexibility exercise
A shoulder stretch is any exercise that lengthens and loosens the muscles around the shoulder joint—deltoids, rotator cuff, upper back.
Common versions include pulling one arm across the chest, reaching behind the back, or clasping hands overhead: I do a quick shoulder stretch before lifting.
Shoulder stretches help maintain mobility and relieve tension from desk work or athletic activity.
