Tricep Stretch Raise arm high and as far back as comfortable with the lower arm running straight down your back, or as close as you can. Use the other arm to support the stretch, holding either side of the elbow joint. Hold for at least 20s and then swap sides. 

Upper Back & Shoulder Stretch Stand tall with shoulders and hips facing forward. Gently and slowly bring your arm across your body, holding with the other hand, either side of the elbow joint. Try doing this in a low, mid or a high position across your chest. Whatever position which gives you the best stretch. Hold each time for at least 20s and then change sides.
