These exercises will help you manage the tightness in the muscles on the underside of the arm closest to your armpit, your back and front chest muscles. Working on these areas can also help improve your posture and alignment in sitting and standing when focussed on regularly.

Roll back slightly to make contact with the back of your upper arm and continue to roll forward and backwards

Complete 10-20 rolls to each arm
