Best stretch for shoulder pain? (pic inside)


Do you deal with nagging shoulder pain?

-> Check out the 8-Minute Shoulder Fix

While shoulder issues can come from a variety of causes, one of the most common culprits I’ve seen—especially in people 40+ who train hard—is tightness in the posterior capsule.

Here’s what’s happening:

The rotator cuff muscles in the rear of your shoulder wrap around the joint and attach to your upper arm. When these muscles get tight, they pull your shoulder forward and down over time.

This leads to chronic tension, poor shoulder mechanics, and a much higher risk of impingement—especially when pressing overhead or even doing bodyweight moves like push-ups.

If this sounds familiar, I’ve got something simple but powerful for you to try:

EAGLE ARMS STRETCH

This stretch is one of my go-tos for tight, painful shoulders. Most people haven’t tried it—and it works wonders when done consistently.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Start in a seated or standing position with your spine tall and shoulders relaxed.
  2. Extend both arms straight in front of you at shoulder height.
  3. Cross your right arm under your left arm at the elbows.
  4. Bend both elbows so your forearms point up.
  5. Try to wrap your forearms around each other and bring your palms to touch (or the backs of your hands, if your palms won’t touch).
  6. Lift your elbows slightly so they’re in line with your shoulders.
  7. Draw your forearms away from your face while keeping your shoulders down.
  8. Breathe deeply and hold for 20–30 seconds. Repeat on the other side.

Modifications:

Chair Support: You can do this seated in a chair with your back supported for more stability.

Beginner Option: If a full wrap isn’t available, cross the arms and press the backs of your hands together or grab opposite shoulders.
