Modification: Don’t bring the stick all the way back. Cut the movement down by stopping when you feel you’ve had enough. Recognize your limits, and do not force the stretch.
Cautions: If your chest or front shoulders are tight, these exercises may be difficult for you. If that’s the case, then the diagonal move will be harder to do, and you’ll experience discomfort in your neck. Take it easy, and maintain a slow pace.
EXERCISE DOs and DONTs – As with all exercise programs, when using exercise videos that appear on this site, you need to use common sense. If your muscles are weak, either do the modifications, or don’t attempt this exercise if it’s too difficult for you. When starting an exercise program, be sure to discuss your plans with your healthcare provider
