Several types of shoulder stretches can be beneficial for nurses:
Cross-body arm stretch: This stretch targets the deltoid and rotator cuff muscles. Overhead shoulder stretch: Helps in elongating the muscles of the upper back and shoulders. Doorway stretch: Opens up the chest and shoulders, relieving tension. Pendulum stretch: Often used for rehabilitation, it gently stretches the shoulder muscles. Sleeper stretch: Focuses on the posterior capsule and can improve internal rotation.
