How to do a shoulder stretch for seniors?

Here's how to do a shoulder stretch for seniors:

1. Sit or stand with your back straight and your arms at your sides.

2. Lift your arms to shoulder height, and then bring them behind you.

It's important to perform the shoulder stretch slowly and gently, without bouncing or jerking. Seniors should stop the stretch immediately if they feel any pain or discomfort. If the stretch is too difficult to perform with clasped hands, seniors can hold onto a towel or resistance band instead.
