Today at Pilates class I learnt how to loosen up my tight shoulders and upper back muscles. The instructor made us do something very interesting. We had to lie on the floor face down and prop our body up on the elbows. The wall has to be near the front of the elbows and head. Then using our hands and fingers, we had to ‘climb’ the wall while the lower half of the body is still on the floor. It was very good stretch. According to the instructor, this pose can also help cure migraines and headaches. Wow, I’ve yet to prove that fact. Today when I woke up, I felt the muscles on my shoulders and upper back aching. Let’s hope that I manage to loosen those tight shoulders properly.
