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

Back Part of Deltoid Muscle Stretch

• 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.

Important Notes
