My go-to move for relieving tight shoulders from panel installations

I used to get really sore shoulders after fitting avionics panels all day. Now, I do a simple wall angel stretch for five minutes before packing up. It helps loosen up the muscles and prevents that stiff feeling the next morning. Give it a try if you're dealing with similar tension.

Tried that stretch once, but my coordination is so bad I nearly became a permanent wall fixture.

Know exactly what you mean, @thomas291. Tried a simple yoga video last month and spent more time untangling myself from my own limbs than actually stretching. My coordination is so bad I think I invented a new pose called "the confused turtle." Definitely felt that permanent wall fixture vibe, just horizontally as a floor decoration instead. I'm pretty sure my body's main goal is to become one with any furniture nearby.

Become one with any furniture nearby" is too real. Read a thing about how some people's brains just don't map their limbs right. Called proprioception. Means you can't feel where your arms and legs are without looking. Explains why I always knock drinks over. Trying to touch my toes, I'm just guessing. My brain thinks my hand is over by the lamp.
