Lie on the floor on one side with your head resting on a foam roller for support. Bend your forearm 90 degrees, so it's perpendicular to your torso. -
Step 2
Keeping your shoulder blades down and back, press your right hand into the floor with your left hand until you feel a stretch in the back of your shoulder. Hold and go back to start.
