Description

Stand with your back slightly arched, then straighten up by extending the distance between your sternum and your navel until your back feels straight. Once in this position, slowly bring your shoulder blades together and hold. Then release completely and let your shoulders fall forward. If you feel any pain, reduce the amplitude of the movement so that it remains bearable and diminishes immediately after the exercise.
