To increase the stretch further, the left hand can be brought up to the back of the head to gently pull down a little more.Tilt the chin downward until a good stretch is felt on the back right side of the neck.While keeping everything else still, rotate the head to the left about 45 degrees (which is about halfway toward the shoulder).If raising the elbow above the shoulder is too complicated at first, this step can be skipped.) (This step rotates the shoulder blade downward, which helps lengthen the levator scapulae muscle even more before it is stretched. Raise the right arm forwards and reach over the back with the hand grasping the right shoulder blade and applying downward pressure.
