If you have a tight neck and shoulders, doing a stretch like this scorpion opener and combining with these wall angels may be the winning combo for better mobility and posture. As always, consult a physical therapist or medical professional for any pain and stop any stretch or exercise right away if it doesn’t feel safe for you.

My awesome physical therapist Mark Bautista, DPT, PT at Renew Physical Therapy gives a great demo in this video. Be gentle and listen to your body. This should feel good. If this causes you pain stop right away and consult a doctor (like Mark and his team). If pain free, start with 10 reps a few times a day to give your neck a break.
