How to do the exercise

Description: Lie on your stomach with arms extended in front of you holding a stick. Keeping your arms straight, slowly lift the stick backward by extending the shoulders, then gently return to the starting position.

Tips: Keep your neck aligned with your spine and avoid arching the lower back. Perform the movement slowly and control the trajectory to maximize mobility.

Progression: Gradually increase the number of repetitions or add slight resistance with a heavier stick as the movement becomes easier.
