Spinal & Shoulder-Jaw Stretch: By raising both arms overhead and leaning the body sideways, this pose stretches the muscles on both sides of the spine and the scapular region, alleviating lower back stiffness and rounded shoulders/hunched posture caused by prolonged sitting.
Promotes Qi-Blood Circulation: In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, upward extension activates the "Hand Three Yang Meridians" (Large Intestine, Small Intestine, and Triple Burner Meridians), promoting yang Qi circulation to reduce fatigue and enhance cerebral blood flow.
Strengthens Core Stability: Engaging the abdominal muscles and maintaining a neutral pelvis indirectly trains the deep core muscles (e.g., transverse abdominis), improving balance and posture.
Optimizes Breathing: Full thoracic expansion during arm raises stimulates diaphragmatic descent, increasing oxygen intake to alleviate anxiety and sharpen focus.
Boosts Lymphatic Flow: Arm movements stimulate axillary lymph nodes, aiding metabolic waste removal and immune function.
Coordinates Internal Organs: Alternating upward and downward arm movements, combined with breathwork, regulate diaphragmatic motion to massage the liver, stomach, and spleen, enhancing digestion and detoxification.
Balances Nervous System: Slow, synchronized movements and breathing lower cortisol levels while activating the parasympathetic nervous system, relieving stress-induced headaches and insomnia.
Improves Posture: Scapular depression and retraction correct rounded shoulder posture, preventing shoulder periarthritis and cervical spondylosis.
Long-Term Health Benefits: Regular practice regulates endocrine functions (e.g., thyroid hormone) and stabilizes blood glucose metabolism, ideal for sub-healthy individuals.
Practice Guidelines:
- Repeat each movement 3–5 times, synchronizing breath (inhale on lift, exhale on lower).
- Beginners should practice in front of a mirror to ensure spinal alignment and avoid sagging hips or raised shoulders.
Best performed in the morning or after prolonged sitting to energize the body.
