How Do You Do Aquatic Shoulder And Chest Stretches?
The chest and shoulder area often holds a lot of tension. The following is a great stretch to help relax the muscles in this region. You can do this exercise standing in chest to shoulder height water. This can be a deep stretch so go easy at first until you see how it affects you. Stand up straight with your back to the pool wall. Reach your arms back and hold onto the wall. Your hands should be shoulder width apart or slightly wider. Walk out away from the wall to straighten the arms. Place the soles of your feet against the pool wall, but keep your toes on the pool floor. Keeping the knees straight, begin to lean away from the wall until you feel a stretch. Hold for five to ten deep breaths. Focus on relaxing the shoulders and opening the chest.
