Door Jamb (part 1 & 2)

Dr. David Adler owner of Adler Comprehensive Chiropractic in Roswell, GA guides you through a door Jamb stretch (Part 1). 
This stretch should be done multiple times throughout the day and it is completed by placing your hands in the “hold-up” position with arms parallel to the ground and forearms perpendicular to the arm. The elbows should be blocked by the doorframe, this allows the stretch to be isolated to the pectoralis muscles and not allow stress to be put on the joints or the tendons as much. Slowly walk through the door using baby steps and never leaning. Both feet should remain below the pelvis at all times.  Hold for 10-30 seconds. As you feel the muscle relax you can take a few additional baby steps forward.
Once you have done this exercise for about 2 weeks you can move on to the next video, (Part 2) Door Jamb Stretch with neck retraction. For additional stretches and exercises, explore our playlist.

(PART 2)

This door jamb stretch is the second part of the door jamb exercise. This should only be added to the exercise after the first part of the door jamb stretch is done correctly for at least 2 weeks or if recommended to start by Dr. Adler. Performing this portion of the door jamb stretch too early can cause an exacerbation. 
If it creates any pain, discontinue and contact the office. For additional stretches and exercises, explore our playlist.
