Deltoid Muscle Stretch Technique

In this video, Rob from Body Bieber demonstrates three different techniques to stretch the deltoid muscle.

Back Part of Deltoid Muscle Stretch

• Place hand on opposite shoulder and bring elbow up to shoulder height.

• Slowly push hand past the shoulder until feeling a stretch in the back of the shoulder.

• Hold for 30-60 seconds.

Outside Part of Deltoid Muscle Stretch

• Get into same position as before but bring forearm to be vertical.

• Pull elbow slowly towards opposite shoulder until feeling a stretch through this part of the deltoid.

• Hold for 30-60 seconds.

Front Part of Deltoid Muscle Stretch

• Sit with hands out behind about shoulder width apart or slightly wider.

• Bend elbows and slide hips towards feet.

• Slowly lean back towards hands letting out all those bend until feeling a stretch through front of the shoulder.

• Hold for 30-60 seconds.

Important Notes

• It is important to feel the stretch through these parts of the shoulder.

• If any other pain is felt, do not push through and see a qualified therapist.
