395. The BEST Exercises to Open Tight Shoulders and Chest Muscles

Self Care Simplified

Lots of things in our lives - both small and large - can affect how our bodies move and feel. For example, everything from something as seemingly simple as poor posture to something as dramatic as a major surgery can create ongoing pain and tightness in your shoulders and chest.

What’s the best way to find relief?

Listener Jill went through a life-altering surgery, and months later is still feeling the effects of it: Nine months ago, I had to have a double mastectomy, and because of the surgery and subsequent scar tissue, my chest and shoulders always feel so tight, and I don’t know what to do for it. Are there any exercises that you would recommend that would help open up and release these muscles?”

If, like Jill, you’re experiencing muscle tightness in your chest and shoulders, whether because of surgery, injury or just years of poor posture, then this quick episode is for you. I’ll walk you through the FOUR keys for combatting muscle tightness, including specific stretches and exercises to help you find relief fast!
