Topic description

Sitting on a chair with your back straight, turn your upper body to one side (looking to the side), place the hand furthest away on the opposite thigh and bring the other hand to the seat by the buttocks or to the backrest (both arms are on the side towards which the torso is inclined). Pull the outer shoulder backwards with rocking movements; if necessary, increase the stretch by pressing the hand on the thigh or pulling on the back of the chair. Switch sides after a while.
