Stand in a door frame or similar. Bring your arm slightly backwards and hold your hand against the door frame. Press your arms against the frame so that there is an increasing stretch on the front of your shoulders. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds and then move your arm up and down the door frame and repeat the stretch so that different parts of the muscles are stretched.

Stand with your arm stretched down at your side with your hand slightly clenched. Rotate your arm so that your thumb is moved inwards and maximally backwards. Then bend your wrist to the maximum so that the back of your hand is facing downwards and that it tightens on the outside of your elbow. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Relax for 5 seconds.

Stand with your arms slightly out to the side and palms facing forwards. Bring your shoulder blades together (imagine holding a pencil between your shoulder blades). Hold the position for 10 seconds. Relax for 10 seconds.
