Conseils techniques
Extend one arm straight in front of you at shoulder height, then reach it across your body. Use your other hand to gently pull the arm closer to your chest until a stretch is felt in the shoulder. Avoid pulling too hard or twisting your spine, as this can lead to injury.
Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, breathing deeply and evenly. Don't hold your breath or you may increase tension in your body, making the stretch less effective.
After the time is up, slowly release the stretch and repeat with the other arm. It's crucial to stretch both shoulders equally to maintain balance in your body.
