Band Doorknob Pull-backs

The exerciser is working on a tight and painful right neck and shoulder blade area. He hooks the band near its' center on the doorknob and then, moves in front of it bending at the knees. He then moves his left foot forward versus the right. This will facilitate some backward swing of his right hand during the swing part of this exercise. Next, the exerciser flexes his head toward the left to create a strong stretch on the right side of his neck. Holding this stretch he grasps the ends of the band in his right hand so that his thumb is upward. Keeping his right elbow in at his side he pulls the band outward and backward repeatedly while keeping his head flexed to the left. 3 sets of 20 repetitions are done with a 1-minute rest between sets. The exercise can be done 3 times per day.
