Kneeling Chest & Shoulder Torso Rotation Stretch

Kneeling Torso Rotation - Chest and Shoulder Stretch

Positioning

1. Begin by kneeling on a comfortable surface, such as a mat or carpet, to prevent any discomfort in your knees.
2. Place your hands on the ground in front of you, shoulder-width apart. Your hands should be aligned with your shoulders.
3. Ensure your back is straight, and engage your core muscles to maintain stability.

Movement

1. While keeping your knees on the ground, slowly rotate your torso to one side, raising the opposite hand towards the ceiling. This movement should be controlled and gentle.
2. Hold the position for a few seconds, feeling the stretch in your chest and shoulder.
3. Return to the starting position by bringing your hand back down and realigning your torso.
4. Repeat the movement on the other side, lifting the opposite hand toward the ceiling.
5. Alternate sides for a total of 5-10 repetitions on each side, ensuring smooth movements and deep breathing throughout the exercise.

Tips

- Focus on stretching and opening your chest and shoulders; avoid hunching your back.
- Adjust the intensity of the stretch according to your comfort level, ensuring you never feel pain.
- Keep your core engaged to help stabilize your position while rotating.
