Are you are dealing with stiff shoulders or struggling to lift your arm? Whether it’s general tightness or a condition like frozen shoulder, gentle stretching can make a big difference. One of the most helpful moves is the external rotation stretch it can improve flexibility and ease discomfort over time.
You don’t need any special equipment; a broomstick, mop handle, or any firm household item works just fine.
If your shoulder feels tight or you’re having trouble with simple movements, you might be dealing with frozen shoulder or maybe just general stiffness. One simple and effective way to improve your range of motion is the sleeper stretch, which targets internal rotation and helps restore flexibility over time.
