Shoulder Shrug Relaxation Exercise

Video Transcript

"OKay, the next thing we're going to do is talk about the shoulders. What we want to do is we want to raise the shoulders up as high as we can and then release them as low as they'll go. Probably don't try to force them down, but let them go down. So you're going to inhale as you bring your shoulders up and you're going to exhale as you bring your shoulders down. And, it's really the exhale and the releasing of the shoulders where you're going to let the muscle relax. So, we're going to take it in, we let it out. And in, and out. And you want to do that, oh maybe eight times, maybe ten times. Then the next thing you want to do is we're going to take, get the whole arm involved, and we're going to float our arms up, and we're going to float them down. We're going to float them up and we're going to float them down. Again, you're inhaling on the up, you're exhaling on the down. Inhale and exhale. And that's going to help relieve some of the tension in those shoulders."
