Elbow Out Rotator Stretch

• Bend your right elbow at a 90-degree angle so your fingers are pointing towards the ceiling and your palm is facing forward.
• Use your left hand to gently pull your right elbow towards your left shoulder until you feel a stretch in your right shoulder.
• Hold this position for about 20 to 30 seconds, making sure to breathe deeply and evenly throughout.
• Repeat the process with your left arm, ensuring equal stretching for both shoulders.

• Gentle Movement: Rotate your arm outward, away from your body, while keeping your elbow at your side. The movement should be slow and gentle to prevent injury. Avoid jerky or rapid movements which can strain the muscles and ligaments.
• Range of Motion: Only stretch to the point where you feel a gentle pull, not pain. Overstretching can lead to injury. If you can't move your arm very far, that's okay. The goal is to gradually increase your range of motion over time. Common Mistakes to Avoid:
• Lifting the Elbow: A common mistake is to lift the elbow away from the body during the stretch. This can put unnecessary strain on the shoulder.
