Overview

In this lesson, we explore passive range holds for shoulder retraction.

Objective

Understand how sustained stretch positions can gradually increase shoulder blade mobility in retraction.

What You'll Get

You'll learn how to hold your shoulder blades in a fully retracted position, allowing the tissues to adapt over time. This method is gentle and accessible, making it ideal for students with tight chests or restricted shoulder movement. For professionals, it's a foundational technique for building range before progressing to more dynamic or loaded work.
