Quadruped Pec Stretch - Swiss Ball
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Kneel down on the ground next to a swissball. Get into the quadruped position with your knees on the ground under the hips, and your hands on the ground under your shoulders. Place one arm up in a diagonal direction on top of the swissball. Roll forward a bit and feel a comfortable stretch in the front of your shoulder and pec muscles. Hold that for as long as prescribed.
- FEEL: You should feel a stretch in the front of your shoulder and chest area.
- COMPENSATION: Don’t shrug your shoulders. Find the best position to stretch the front of your shoulder and hold that.
