This next exercise is another exercise that will not only will kind of help strengthen but also help relax you too if you are tense at the end of a long day. And what we are going to do is go ahead and squeeze our shoulder blades back together so we pull in our shoulders back. This is another excellent one for posture. So what you are doing is you're trying to touch your shoulder blades back and you hold. Get about five seconds so hold hold hold and relax. Go back again. Again, keeping a nice upright posture you're holding you're squeezing squeezing squeezing then relax. Go back another time, hold it hold hold hold. Relax. Again great exercise you can do help relax you as well as do a little bit of strengthening so let's do one more time, hold it, hold, hold, hold and relax.
Monica your videos have been a great help for me. I recently had my neck fused from C3-C7 and was instructed to have therapy. Knowing the therapists in my home town are not that great, I went on the web and found your videos and I thank you for the help that you have given me.
