A post stretch report on a not-so-good day

This is my post-stretch report on a not-so-good day. I woke up extremely stiff and in pain. Time to do those stretches I learned about in Bath.

Here’s my #WorkOut report.

Shoulder rolls

  • Rolling shoulders forward, up, and back.

Some relief for my neck and shoulders.

Neck flex and extend

  • Moving head over to the side. Then the other.
  • Head forward, then back.
  • Twisting neck by looking left and then right.

More head and neck stiffness relief. Slightly less head pain.

Seated flexes and twists

  • Twisting body clockwise and then counterclockwise while seated.
  • Hip flex by side leaning.

Some back tension relief. Starting to feel human again.

Chest and shoulder

This one is harder to explain. hands out face up with elbows at a right angle. Move hands in a circular motion outwards. This opens up the chest and flexes the shoulders taking tension from the neck as it does so.

Overall

I feel somewhat better. Head hurts less. Back and shoulders feel freer as the stiffness is lower.

I should really do this more often.
