How to do it:

  • Stand with your back against a wall, feet a few inches forward.

  • Gently press your lower back, upper back, and head into the wall.

  • Bring your arms into a “goalpost” position with elbows bent at 90 degrees.

  • Keep your shoulders down and relaxed as you slowly slide your arms upward, as if making a snow angel.

  • Maintain as much contact with the wall as possible.

  • Return to the starting position with control and repeat.

Why it’s effective:

Wall Angels strengthen the postural muscles that support your spine while opening up the chest and shoulders. This helps counteract the effects of prolonged sitting, computer work, or forward-rounded posture.

Common benefits:

Improves posture and spinal alignment, increases shoulder mobility and stability, strengthens mid- and upper-back muscles and reduces tension from slouching or desk work.
