In Bed Back Stretch

Dr. Clayton Roach: Many of you might not know this, but many of the back muscles crisscross from the hip to the shoulder. So that’s why a diagonal stretch sometimes works better than a linear stretch. Here we go. I’m in bed because you’ll want to do this in the morning and at night before you get up and go to bed. So you’ll bring the leg over the side of the bed, let it drop, past the bed and the mattress. You will take your same arm and then get the arm back. You can use this hand as a pillow and enjoy the stretch for 25 to 30 seconds. You’re going to bring it back, and you’re going to do it again three times on both sides.
