Seated Side Stretch - Ribs, Waist & Shoulders

Seated Side Stretch

A seated side stretch gently lengthens the muscles around the waist, ribcage, shoulders and sides of the upper body. These areas can sometimes feel tight after prolonged sitting, working at a computer or spending lots of time in the same posture.

The movement also encourages comfortable mobility around the ribcage, an area that naturally moves as we breathe. Rather than trying to stretch as far as possible, the focus is on creating a gentle sense of space through each side of the body.
