Biceps Wall Stretch
by Dr. Christopher Notley

Muscles stretched

• Biceps
• Front deltoid

Start position

• Facing a wall
• Lift your arm out to the side until is it parallel with the floor
• Make a C-shape with your hand. Place that C against the wall.

Finish position

• Attempt to bring your shoulder to the wall.
• If you can bring your shoulder to the wall without feeling a stretch then turn your body away from the wall. To do this, turn your opposite shoulder away from the wall.
• A moderate stretch should be felt across the front of the arm/shoulder.

Alternatives

• Change the height of your hand. This will change how and where the stretch is felt.
• Use a door jam or a pole instead of a wall.
• If you can not hold your arm up perform the exercise on the floor.
