Position and Movement
Sit on a bench or chair with your legs together. Hold a broomstick or similar item across your back and shoulders so that your elbows are bent in a 90-degree angle. Use your arms to hold up the broomstick, not your shoulders and back. In a controlled fashion, rotate your upper body back and forth as far as you can comfortably go. Make sure your hips do not move.
Tip
Keeping your lower body near stationary through the range of motion is essential. Avoid hanging the weight of your arms on the broomstick.
