Wall Angels: A Posture Drill for Rounded Shoulders

Sliding the arms up and down a wall trains the muscles that hold the shoulders back — the ones that switch off after hours at a screen.

How to do it

  1. Stand with your back against a wall, feet a little away from it, knees soft.
  2. Press the lower back, upper back and head gently toward the wall.
  3. Bring the arms up into a 'W': elbows bent, backs of the arms toward the wall.
  4. Slowly slide the arms up into a 'Y', keeping contact as much as you can.
  5. Slide back down to the 'W'.
  6. Repeat 8 to 10 times.
Who this is forDesk workers, students, and anyone whose shoulders roll forward.
Take careYour arms may not touch the wall at first — that is normal. Stop if you feel pinching or pain in the shoulder.

If you have a medical condition or an injury, are pregnant, or take medication, please check with your doctor before starting a new practice — and stop anything that causes pain.
