This stretch is not only great for athletes, but for those of us hunched over computers, which causes tight shoulders and neck pain. This feels so good!
- Begin lying on your belly with your arms out wide, palms facing down and in line with the shoulders.
- Place your left palm underneath your left shoulder and push into the floor to roll onto the right side of the body.
- If it feels OK on your shoulder, turn this into a spinal twist by bending your left knee, and placing it on the floor behind you.
- Lean back into your left foot and right hand as much as you can, gently pressing your left hand into the floor for support.
- Breathe deeply for three to four minutes, then repeat on the other side.
