How to do it

  2. Lift your shoulders to your ears, roll them back, then down.
  3. Switch direction halfway through.

Remember

Big, slow circles. Back and down.

Take care

Keep the movement smooth, not jerky.

Stretch gently and never into pain. StretchUp gives general guidance and is not a medical device.
