A gentle starting point.

Begin with a gentle 10-second hold. Change sides where applicable, then repeat once. A second stretch can be slightly deeper only if it remains comfortable. The illustration shows the movement, not a range you must reach.

BRING IT BACK TO YOUR DAY

Stretching is one part
of posture care.

Use a stretching break as a chance to notice your position and the task in front of you. Revisit a long reach, change position, or use a support. Keep strength, regular movement and recovery in the picture too.

General stretching guidance and sources

Hold times and suitable movements vary with the person and the purpose. The 10-second hold here belongs to this routine; it is not a universal prescription. These general guidance sources support gentle, controlled stretching and individual adaptation, rather than validating this complete sequence.
