In this video, we show you three exercises for discomfort in the shoulders.
The exercises are suitable for all instrumentalists and vocalists.

  1. Awareness exercise
    Move both shoulders in all directions and let them circle; pull your shoulders up tensely and let them fall down consciously and relaxed.
  2. Relaxation exercise
    Stretch both arms forward, pull the shoulder blades together and release them again. Make sure that your arms remain straight forward and that you do not pull your shoulders upwards.
  3. Exercise to activate the movement chain
    Take a lunge forward, support yourself on your knee and rotate an outstretched arm outwards and back again. During the exercise, look into the outstretched hand and move your upper body with the rotation.
    Then repeat the movement with the other arm and switch legs after a few passes to repeat the exercises for the opposite side.
    Make sure the back of the body is well aligned. The heel points towards the floor, the head points in the opposite direction and the back is well straightened in between.
