Start by interlocking your fingers, reach forward, and stretch your arms outward. Raise your arm above your head and hold the position for 15 to 20 seconds. You should begin to feel the stretch between your holder lades, offering some much-needed relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Neck Stretch <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_NeckStretch-1024x521.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9029\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_NeckStretch-1024x521.png 1024w, https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_NeckStretch-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_NeckStretch-768x391.png 768w, https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_NeckStretch.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After a long shift, the neck is one of the more tender areas, so why not practice the Neck Stretch and relieve that ache? Start with relaxed shoulders and gently begin to position your left ear towards your left shoulder and place your hand on your head &#8211; go as far as you comfortably can. Then, hold this position for 15 to 20 seconds and repeat on the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Shoulder Stretch <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_ShoulderStretch-1024x521.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_ShoulderStretch-1024x521.png 1024w, https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_ShoulderStretch-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_ShoulderStretch-768x391.png 768w, https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_ShoulderStretch.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoulder Stretch is a simple, yet effective stretch to incorporate into your day-to-day life. Start by relaxing your shoulder blades back and down. Then, reach one arm across your body and use your other arm to hold that potion. Hold for 15 to 20 seconds, repeat on each side, and you should be able to deepen the stretch to your desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Knee to Chest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_KneestoChest-1024x521.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_KneestoChest-1024x521.png 1024w, https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_KneestoChest-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_KneestoChest-768x391.png 768w, https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_KneestoChest.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our next stretch is the Knee to Chest. Start by lying flat on your back and flowy; bring one of your knees towards your chest. Hold the position with your arms or hands, and you should begin to feel a nice stretch in your lower back. This stretch is great after a long day on your feet as it combats backaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Spine Twist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_SpineTwist-1024x521.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_SpineTwist-1024x521.png 1024w, https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_SpineTwist-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_SpineTwist-768x391.png 768w, https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Image_SpineTwist.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spinal Twist is another excellent backstretch to practice. Start by lying on your back and raising one of your knees towards your chest. Gently roll your knee to the opposite side, and make sure your shoulder remains on the floor. By doing this exercise, you are slowly stretching your shoulders and upper back, offering much-needed relief after a long shift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/starks-fitness-portugal-retreat-get-active-meet-people-and-discover-portugal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Feature_FitnessRetreat.png\" alt=\"NHS Stretching Exercises\" class=\"wp-image-8827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Feature_FitnessRetreat.png 1080w, https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Feature_FitnessRetreat-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Feature_FitnessRetreat-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/healthservicediscounts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Feature_FitnessRetreat-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><span style=\"color:#1c36ba\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Starks Fitness Portugal Retreat<\/span><\/strong><br>After a long day at work, we are so focused on getting home, having a shower, sleeping, and trying to reset for the next shift \u2013 leaving no time for self-care.
