Description

This is a full body stretch exercise performed while lying on your side on the floor. It helps to increase flexibility and relieve muscle tension.

How to Do Side Lying Floor Stretch

1
Setup
Lie on your side on the floor with your bottom arm extended overhead, palm facing up, and your top arm resting comfortably on your side or stomach.
2
Setup
Stack your hips and knees, with your knees bent at approximately a 90-degree angle. Ensure your head is supported by your bottom arm or a small pillow.
3
Reach your top arm overhead, actively extending it away from your hips as if trying to touch the wall in front of you. Simultaneously, gently push your hips slightly away from your reaching arm.
4
Feel the stretch along the side of your torso, from your hip to your armpit, targeting your latissimus dorsi. Breathe deeply and smoothly, allowing your body to relax further into the stretch with each exhale.

Tips

To intensify the stretch, gently arch your back slightly and rotate your upper body towards the ceiling as you reach with your top arm.
Focus on breathing deeply into your abdomen; this helps relax the muscles and allows for a deeper, more effective stretch.
Ensure your bottom arm is fully extended overhead to provide a stable base and prevent your shoulder from shrugging up towards your ear.
Avoid any sharp pain; the stretch should feel like a gentle pull, not a strain. Adjust your position if you feel discomfort.

Common Mistakes

×Not fully extending the top arm reduces the stretch on the latissimus dorsi; actively reach your fingertips away from your body to maximize the lengthening.
×Allowing the hips to roll forward or backward compromises the targeted side stretch; keep your hips stacked directly on top of each other throughout the movement.
×Holding your breath creates tension and prevents muscle relaxation; consciously breathe deeply and smoothly throughout the stretch to encourage muscle release.
