The first stretch opens up your hip flexors, which tend to get very tight with prolonged sitting and can contribute to lower back issues. Raising the arm up over the head can increase the stretch at the hips as well as open up the ribs and shoulder.

The second stretch is great to open up the shoulders and middle back, which are two of the most biggest areas where musicians tend to accumulate tension.

Whenever you're ready, there are 4 ways I can help you:

1. 5 Minute Morning Mobility: A 5 minute mobility flow to release the tension in muscles that matter so you're body is ready for all the playing you'll do that day.

2. 10 Minute Evening Recovery: 10 minutes of gentle stretching the most important areas for musicians. Includes nerve glides and proper finger tendon stretches. It's the best thing you can do for your body.

3. The Musician Specific Strength Program: The best thing you can you can do to prevent injury is get stronger in the muscles that matter. This program will transform your body so it never limits your music. It's comprehensive and provides maximum benefit for the minimum time possible.

4. Personalized Coaching: If you need the peace of mind of a personalized program built by a musician's health expert, I offer 1-on-1 coaching to a very limited number of clients. Start your transformation here.
