This sequence combines dynamic movements and short static holds to both stretch and strengthen your shoulders, arms, and upper back. Baxter learned this sequence many years ago from Erich Schiffmann and has shared it with many students over the years. Those with a history of shoulder dislocation or significant shoulder injury check with your health care team before trying.
