This exercise helps increase flexibility and range of motion in your shoulder joint and the surrounding muscles. Remember to stop if you feel increasing pain in your shoulder. Start by bringing your right arm up and across your chest with your hand gently resting on your left shoulder, or use your left hand to support your arm by the elbow. Use your left hand to gently press the right arm towards your chest until you feel a stretch in the right shoulder. Hold this position for 20-30 seconds and do 3-5 reps. Repeat on the opposite side.
