Shoulder Stretches: 3 Easy Shoulder Stretches for Flexibility
This simple and quick shoulder stretching routine is perfect for keeping the rotator cuff in good shape by enhancing full and natural range of motion.
By keeping the superficial, and deep layer, muscles of the shoulder girdle and surrounding muscle groups loose and limber – you decrease risk of injury, common aches and pains – and you improve overall posture.
The 3 Stretches for Shoulder Flexibility Are:
1 – Rear Deltoid/Upper Back Stretch
2 – Shoulder/Tricep Stretch
3 – Chest/Anterior Deltoid (Shoulder) Stretch
This shoulder stretching sequence can be done right before an upper body workout session, right after a workout – or both before and after. You can also do this by itself, anytime.
It’s also a great flexibility program for golfers and tennis players – helping to increase range of motion, decrease risk of chronic and acute injuries, speed recuperation between matches.
Performance in all sports and simple daily activities are enhanced as well. The results speak for themselves. You be the judge.
As always – I remind you to get your doctor’s medical clearance for exercise before starting any kind of new exercise program – or if you are unsure about your own physical ability. Better safe than sorry. Pay special attention to this warning if you have any history of arm and shoulder injuries or upper-body joint surgeries.
After you’ve tried this shoulder stretching routine – please post your feedback and comments below – and then please do share this home exercise video and blog post with anyone else you know who can benefit from this kind of helpful home, office and travel fitness information. They’ll appreciate you for it.
Your trainer for life – your trainer forever,

Hi Joey,
I have your Optimum Flexibility DVD & love it!
My son (age 15) & I (age 43) just started ice speed skating (short track style…lots of curving on ice & getting very low in the curves). Let’s face it, the speed skating position is not an easy position to hold. There is a lot of strain on the lower body – back, hips, glutes,
hams, quads, and calf, as well as upper body – neck, shoulders, traps, lats. And the longer you spend in the position the more strain there is as your muscles start to fatigue.
Are there any additional stretches you recommend for speed skaters?
Thank you so much for all of yor help. By the way I own EVERY DVD you sell and all are phenomenal!!!

Candace – Thanks so much for this great feedback!!
You have all you need re your question – The key is to be consistent with the stretching and workouts – day to day – week to week.
One thing you may want to explore – is deep tissue massage therapy – maybe once per week.
Joey
It not only helped my shoulders, but also, my neck and the muscle above my hips.
Thanks
I just tried your 3 shoulder stretches while watching your video. After sitting at my computer most of the day & night, my shoulders and neck were almost immobile. Even though you said it shouldn’t “hurt” to do these stretches, it was painful for me. But on the last stretch, my neck cracked and I finally found relieve of pain and ease of motion. THANKS! I will visit your site regularly.
Hi, Joey. The video was great and I have used
these techniques for stretching the shoulders and find them very effective. Thanks for sharing.
