Video Transcript

"From a seated position, we're going to work on stretching the shoulders, or deltoids. What we're going to do is take one arm, out in front, we're going to cross it over on the diagonal to our active range of motion, or stopping point and with passive resistance either above or below the elbow joint, and not pulling on the arm, but releasing the entire shoulder through the fingertips. Breathing, inhale and exhaled, activate that nervous system to get the oxygen working into the stretching muscles. Holding for ten, up to thirty seconds, keeping square to the center and again, releasing the shoulder, all the energy going to the fingertips, and you're pressing against the opposite hand, and release. You can also get the elbow out to the side and release this way as well. Working to the other side, again, finding active range of motion stopping point, where you can comfortably stretch and elongate ten to thirty seconds each side."
