Wall Stretch

One of the most effective exercises for rounded shoulders is the wall stretch. Place your body against a wall and slowly move your arms up.

Shoulder Press

In addition to the wall stretch, you can also do a series of shoulder press movements. These are similar to a rowing motion.

Scapular Retraction

Another exercise that is not too difficult to do is prone scapular retraction. This stretches your scapula and helps you engage your mid-traps.

Band Pull-Apart

The band pull-apart is another effective exercise to correct rounded shoulders. Holding the two ends of a band at a thirty-degree angle will help strengthen your mid-traps.

Self-Massage

Self-massage is not as effective as professional massage, but it can still be a very effective way to relax and relieve muscle tension.

Shoulder Stretch

For this technique, you’ll need to start by lying on your back with your knees bent. Then you’ll want to place your hands palm down over your ribcage.

Doorway Stretch

To do this, you can either lie on your back with your knees bent and your elbows bent at a 90 degree angle. Hold the stretch for a few seconds.

Massage with Tennis Balls

To get the most out of this method, you’ll want to lie on the floor. Next, you’ll want to put the ball between your shoulder blade and spine.

Simple Massage

Some other self-massage techniques for rounded shoulders can involve kneading the skin or manipulating the muscles in your own hands.
