Cross-Body Shoulder Stretch: Tips to Improve Mobility and Reduce Stiffness

I spend long hours at my desk and often feel tightness in my shoulders. The cross-body shoulder stretch is a simple mobility exercise that targets the rear delts and upper back. Instead of forcing your arm across, gently bring one arm across your chest and hold it with the opposite arm. Keep your shoulders relaxed and hold for 20–30 seconds on each side. Include this stretch in your daily routine to help improve flexibility, posture, and reduce stiffness. Has anyone tried it consistently? What tips or adjustments made it more effective for you?
