Frequently Asked Questions

The best stretches to fix rounded shoulders are the Sleeper Stretch, Rolling Chest Stretches, Subscapularis Stretches, and Pec Minor Stretches. It’s important to do mid-back or thoracic spine stretches because this area gets tight on most people due to constant sitting at desks or at the steering wheel. When the mid-back is tight, rounded shoulders occur.

The best tennis elbow exercises are Kettlebell Swing variations, One Arm Reclining Hangs variations and the Forearm Hang.
