Door Stretch

doorstretch

This stretch is often used to aid in improving imbalances between the pectoralis major (pecs) and interscapular (Rhomboids, Trapezius) which will help with posture.  This is often used with those with shoulder, mid back and/or neck pain

Start Position

  1. Place body within door
  2. Place forearms flat against the door jam and bend elbows to 90 degrees. Hands at head level
  3. One foot place one foot in front of the body

Finish Position

  1. Lunge entire body forwards

Common Errors

  1. Elbows away from the door jam.
  2. Leaning forward at the waist instead of lunging the entire body towards the door jam.
