The average working person, usually spends most of their days sitting at work and sitting at home. Not using our arms much can really cause them to tighten up and lead to aches/pains. A great fix for this is doing some stretches that will loosen up our tissue fibers.
Here are the top 3 stretches that will help you loosen up your arms and increase your mobility/flexibility.
1. Triceps Stretch
Place one arm behind the head with the elbows bent and facing the ceiling. With the other hand, grab the elbow facing up and gently pull it towards your hand. Hold this stretch for about 15-20 seconds. Do the same for the other hand.
This will help with your mobility/flexibility, as you try to get closer and closer to bringing your elbow to your head.
2. Biceps Stretch
Bring your hands behind you and interlock them as shown in the picture. While keeping your arms as straight as possible, slowly raise your hands as high as you can while having them interlocked. Hold this stretch for about 10-15 seconds. Repeat this stretch 2 more times.
3. Elbow Stretch
The most common arm pain is usually located at the elbows. Try this stretch out and see if it helps. With one arm fully extended out, grab your fingers and gently pull them towards your body. While doing that, you should push your elbows ups to feel a good stretch in your forearms and elbow. Hold this stretch for about 10 seconds. Do the same for the other hand.
