1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart for a stable stance.
2. Extend one arm directly out to the side at shoulder height.
3. Keep your head in a neutral position, facing forward.
4. Rotate your torso towards the extended arm while keeping the hips facing forward. The rotation should come from the midsection, turning until a stretch is felt through the obliques and back muscles.
5. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, maintaining steady breathing and keeping the extended arm parallel to the ground.
6. Slowly return to the starting position.
7. Repeat the stretch with the other arm.
8. Perform the stretch for 2-3 repetitions on each side.
Make sure to keep the movements controlled and avoid any jerky motions which may lead to injury. This stretch is excellent for loosening up the back and enhancing thoracic spine mobility, which is beneficial for posture and overall flexibility.
