\"\"<\/a>Fitness How To Target:
\n<\/strong> Upper Back Muscles
\nShoulders<\/p>\n

Back pain is such a common problem, but usually the pain is in the lower back. \u00a0However, whenever we sit too long or are under pressure, our shoulders and upper back tense up. \u00a0This stretch is designed to release that upper back and shoulder tension but you’ll feel a nice pull in the lower back, as well, with a good rounded back. Make sure to breathe as you hold the stretch and really focus on feeling those muscles relax. \u00a0This exercise move works well as part of a mid or post-workout stretching routine but it also feels great in the middle of a stressful day!<\/p>\n
