This document outlines a 14-day focused flexibility routine for tight shoulders. Each day consists of 4 stretches - posterior shoulder opener, prone scaption rotation, upper thoracic extension, and shoulder internal rotation in extension. For each stretch, the protocol instructs to get into the stretch and hold for 10-20 seconds, then move in and out of the stretch dynamically for 10 repetitions before another hold and additional repetitions.
