FFM One Family, Every Joint โ Shoulder Routine
Your shoulders carry more than you think. ๐ค
Hours at a desk, scrolling, carrying bags โ shoulders quietly drift forward and tighten over time. None of it feels like much in the moment, but a little circulation and mobility, done often, is what keeps that pattern from settling in. You don't need a workout. You need two minutes, consistently.
As promised in Part 2 of our series, here's your two-minute shoulder routine you can start today.
1. Shoulder Rolls
โ
Roll your shoulders up, back, and down in slow circles
โ
Repeat 8 to 10 times, then reverse direction
โ
Keep your neck relaxed throughout
Tip: hold a small rolled towel lightly under one arm while you roll โ it gives the joint a little extra space to move.
2. Arm Stretch Across the Body
โ
Bring one arm straight out in front of your body
โ
Use your other forearm to gently guide it inward
โ
Hold for 20 to 30 seconds, then switch sides
Tip: you can also try this with your arm raised overhead for a slightly different stretch.
3. Behind-the-Back Hand Clasp
โ
Clasp your hands loosely together behind your back
โ
Let your shoulders settle down and back, without forcing
โ
Hold gently for a few slow, relaxed breaths
Two minutes. Any time, any desk. You don't need a gym or any equipment โ just a few consistent minutes to keep your shoulders moving the way they're meant to. The best shoulder routine is the one you'll actually do.
This is part of our ongoing series, One Family, Every Joint ๐ค โ looking at how movement and posture connect across every stage of the family. Part 3 (balance, falls, and healthy ageing) is coming soon.
