Handheld stretches

[Dylan Conrad]

Does anyone have any good stretches or methods to aleve back pain/knots/discomfort that comes hand in hand with long days of handheld operating?

Yoga, I'm told, helps a lot. For me, it's normally a nice hot shower and stretching while i'm in there and a beer.

At the end of a day I like to stretch out my back with some of these:

Additionally, sitting in a butterfly position and bringing my head toward my feet helps a lot too.

 

Also, when you shoot, make sure you have good body position and that you're not torquing your body in a bad/ preventable way. don't lift or raise your shoulder while shooting, that'll bind you up really quick. I use a shoulder pad to help me when I shoot for long periods of time.
