Wall-Supported Standing Angel

Standing Angel Wall Supported Shoulders

Positioning:

1. Stand with your back against a wall, ensuring that your feet are about 6 inches away from the wall.

2. Press your lower back, shoulders, and head into the wall for support.

3. Raise your arms to shoulder height, keeping your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle with your forearms parallel to the floor. Your hands should be slightly above your elbows, with palms facing away from you.

4. Maintain a neutral spine and avoid arching your back.

Movement:

1. Slowly slide your arms up the wall while keeping them in the same 90-degree bent position. Your wrists and elbows should maintain contact with the wall throughout the movement.

2. Glide your arms upwards as high as they can comfortably go without losing contact with the wall.

3. Once your arms are extended as high as possible, pause for a moment.

4. Gently lower your arms back down to the starting position, again keeping contact with the wall.

5. Repeat this movement for 10-15 repetitions.

Tips:

• Focus on controlling the movement and avoiding rapid motions.

• Keep your core engaged to help stabilize your position.

• If you feel any discomfort in your shoulders, reduce the range of motion.

• Perform this exercise 2-3 times a week to improve shoulder mobility and posture.
