Modified Bruegger’s Exercise
Exercise Overview
This is an upper body mobility exercise that is best utilized to give yourself a body break from constant sitting. Here we simultaneously internally rotate the arms, protract the scapula, and flex the cervical and thoracic spine to end range. From here we transitions into a chin tuck, neutral spine, with your scapula retracted and shoulders externally rotate. Alternate between the two positions in a single fluid motion to relieve muscle tension.
