5 Simple Exercises to Fix Rounded Shoulders

Why Rounded Shoulders Happen

Rounded shoulders develop from prolonged sitting, phone use, and weak upper back muscles. The good news: they're highly correctable.

5 Exercises to Try

1. Wall Angels

Stand against a wall and slowly slide your arms up and down, keeping contact with the wall.

2. Doorway Stretch

Place your forearms on a door frame and gently lean forward to open your chest.

3. Band Pull-Aparts

Use a resistance band to strengthen the muscles between your shoulder blades.

4. Chin Tucks

Gently tuck your chin back to strengthen deep neck flexors.

5. Cat-Cow

This yoga staple mobilizes your entire spine and counteracts slouching.

How Often?

Aim for 5-10 minutes daily. Consistency matters more than intensity.
