Side Stretches


Standing Side Bend
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, arms by your sides. Lift your arm straight up, above your head. Bend to your left side, running your left hand down your left leg. Feel the stretch in your right side. Repeat by switching sides. Don't lean forward or backward during stretch.

Sitting Side Bend
This is basically the same stretch as above ,but done seated. Sit on a chair and rest your hands on your thighs. Lift your arm straight up, above your head, bend to the left. Feel the stretch in your right side. Switch sides and repeat.

Sitting Side twist
Sit on a chair, keep your back straight (don't slouch).Keeping your feet fixed on the floor, turn your shoulders to the right and hold the back of the chair with both hands. Feel the stretch. Repeat by turning to the left.
