HOW TO RELAX YOUR SHOULDER MUSCLES / WHAT ON EARTH ARE KAS & KELPIE DOING?
The two lovely ladies, Kas & Janet are standing facing the crowd. They raise their arms up above their heads. The crowd looks at the space between their arms & their heads. Janets is not too bad, Kas has a lot of space as she is recovering from whiplash and is a bit tight in her upper body.
OK, so now Janet & Kas face each other. They hold each others right hand. Then then lean back for stay like that for 30 secs. (You can go up to 1.5 mins when you get used to this). Remeber to breathe out. Let your shoulder come out of its socket.
Then they walk a step or two closer to each other, and lean out to the side, still holding each others right hands. Hold for 30 secs to start with. Pull side to side. Breathe.
Then let go of your hands. Stand back to back. Hold right hands again. Now lean out to the side for another 30 seconds. Breathe!
RESULT: Both ladies stand in front of crowd and raise their arms above their heads. Their rights arms now go higher than their left arms.
Now, when you've done these three moves, do them all again using your left hands.
RESULT: Both ladies stand in front of crowd and raise their arms above their heads. Both arms now go up higher and the space between their arms and their heads has decreased.
Both said it felt much better, including poor Kas with her whiplash.
You can also do this yourself at home using a rope tied to a fence post.
