Overview

The upper back stretch is an exercise that targets the trapezius muscles, which are located at the back of the neck and shoulders. This stretch can help to improve flexibility and range of motion in the upper back, and it can also help to relieve tension in the neck and shoulders. To perform the upper back stretch, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms extended overhead. Bend forward at the waist, keeping your knees slightly bent, and reach your arms down toward the floor. Hold this position for 1015 seconds, then slowly return to standing. Repeat this stretch 2-3 times.
