Thanks for this post, Chape! I definitely have rounded shoulders (though not as bad as I once did), so this info is going to help me. I already tried most of the stretches you covered in this post, and I found that I was very tight when I performed the upper limb fascial nerve stretch; looks like I’ll have to do that stretch repeatedly to loosen up.
That stretch is hard because it targets the fascia. Good news is we can do it every day and it gets easier 😅 Also, don’t forget to strengthen the weak muscles. The exercises are easy and help a lot 💪
I won’t forget about the exercises! I was just following along with the stretches as I was reading your post. I’ll have to keep doing the fascia stretch too, because it hurts so good!
Hahaha! If it “hurts”, it works 👍
Exactly!
Buenísima explicación! Además con esos vídeos de los ejercicios queda clarisimo! A ver si lo pongo en práctica y corrijo mi postura! Muchas gracias ☺
Muchas gracias, Estrella 😊 Anímate que los ejercicios son fáciles y divertidos. Seguro que ni siquiera sudas 💪 Un abrazo!!
Informative, I’ve rounded shoulder, but then I’m totally round!
We will fix it 😉👌
🙏
Well done, David. I like these stretches 🙂
Thank you 😁
SO needed this. writing and art have given me this issue from bending over so much I guess! I must try this! :)
I strongly recommend this routine :) I bet you write and work for long periods every day, and I´m sure this will help you correct your posture. Let me know how it works for you ;)
I will and thank you so much! YES I do! :)
Chape, you continue to share great advice about fitness and this is no exception. I didn’t even realize rounded shoulders was a “thing!” Thanks for breaking down the exercises into manageable steps!
Thank you, I try tu be useful :)
Many people think their shoulders and upper back are that way, naturally. But rounded shoulders is a “thing”, causes pain, and can be corrected.
Big hug!
