How to do it
Stand with your back against a wall, feet a small step forward.
Place your forearms on the wall in front of you at shoulder height.
Slide your arms up the wall as far as is comfortable, letting your shoulder blades rotate.
Lower slowly back to shoulder height.
Why it helps
Shoulders stiffen when the shoulder blades stop gliding. Sliding against a wall guides them through the full range with support.
Common mistakes
Shrugging up towards your ears. Keep your neck long and only go as high as you can without lifting the shoulders.
