Resistance Band Shoulder Stretch Behind the Back
Seated, one hand holds a band behind the head while the other pulls it down behind the back, drawing the raised elbow deeper.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall on a stool, one arm bent overhead holding the top of a band behind the head, the other hand holding it low behind the back.
Steps
- Pull the band down with the lower hand behind the back.
- Let the raised elbow point up as its hand drops lower behind the head.
- Hold and breathe, then switch arms.
Common mistakes
Pulling the band hard: build the tension slowly to a firm stretch. Head pushed forward by the arm: keep it back against the raised arm. Leaning away from the raised arm: sit tall and square.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
