While the doorway stretch is generally safe for most individuals, nurses should consider the following precautions:
Avoid overstretching: Stretch only until a gentle tension is felt; do not push to the point of pain. Consult a healthcare professional: If you have a history of shoulder or chest injuries, consult with a physical therapist or healthcare provider before performing this stretch. Maintain proper form: Keep your back straight and avoid arching or rounding your lower back.
