How to do it

  1. Set up. Stand tall with your arms relaxed by your sides or held out to the side.
  2. Move. Draw slow circles with your shoulders or arms, starting small and making them bigger.
  3. Finish. Reverse the direction after the set number of reps. Keep the movement smooth and pain-free.
