Shoulder Stretch. The shoulder stretch loosens the deltoids, the most prominent shoulder muscles, along with the rhomboids and trapezius muscles of your upper back. Stand upright with your feet about hip-width apart. Cross your left arm over your chest so your fingers point away from your right shoulder.
First, bend forward to stretch these back muscles. Hold the stretch by bending the arms, and then attempt to arch the back. This increases tension at the muscle-tendon junction of the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum, stimulates the Golgi tendon organs, and ultimately relaxes these muscles.o slowly with facilitated stretching. Allow about 48 hours of recovery time before re-applying PNF to any given muscle group. It is not necessary to use strong muscular contractions to experience the benefits of these techniques. Start with gentle force and learn to moderate the contraction, dialing it in.
