Love this short sequence:) It is great for counteracting a day of feeding and carrying my gorgeous and very heavy baby. Thank you for sharing:)

I totally agree, Delster. I wish I had known these stretches when my Kiddo was a babe!

I've suffered with a painful back an shoulders for years and this has really helped after only a few sessions. I'm now doing this every day when I get home and the usual end of the day pain is decreasing. Absolutely great thank you

This is great! I didn't think I would feel so loose after only ten minutes. I really struggle to cross my elbows over each other (my hands are miles apart), is this just a flexibility issue? Thanks for a great video :)
