Coaching cues
- Stand in doorway with forearm on the frame at 90° — classic pec stretch position
- Step through gently to open the chest; add a contralateral head tilt (ear away from stretch arm)
- Feel the stretch span from chest across to the opposite neck / upper trap
- Hold 30–45 s; keep chin tucked and shoulders depressed throughout
