    When to avoid this exercise

  • The Wall angel exercise is a beneficial exercise for improving posture and strengthening the muscles of the upper back and shoulders. However, there are certain situations where it may be best to avoid this exercise. Firstly, if you have a current injury or pain in your shoulders, upper back, or neck, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before attempting this exercise. The Wall angel exercise involves raising your arms overhead, which can put strain on these areas and worsen any existing injuries. Additionally, if you have any conditions that affect your balance or stability, such as vertigo or inner ear problems, it is best to avoid this exercise as it involves standing against a wall and moving your arms in different directions. This can increase the risk of falls and injury. Lastly, if you are pregnant or have recently given birth, it is important to consult with your doctor before attempting this exercise. Pregnancy can cause changes in balance and stability, and the Wall angel exercise may not be suitable for your current physical condition. In summary, it is important to listen to your body and consult with a healthcare professional before attempting the Wall angel exercise, especially if you have any pre-existing injuries or conditions that may be aggravated by this exercise.
