Following on from a movement video on spine movement I posted a few weeks ago, a comment was made that it seemed to be for only more advanced movers - and a very fair point.
So this video is to help you understand how to move the spine, predominantly the upper back (thoracic) - which is the area that gets the stiffest in most bodies. That stiffness is due to various reasons, the 'core' not doing its job efficiently, lack of movement generally, an over-mobile neck (yes it exists...) - it can be all or a mixture..
The main thing is we get that area moving, the benefits are HUGE:
easier to breathe
less lower back pain
less shoulder issues
better overall posture which affects digestion, circulation etc..
higher energy levels
improved sports performance (and I mean for hobbies)
There are more benefits, but the feeling of overall well being a free spine gives is the greatest in my mind.
I've done my best on the video to say how and where to move, hence the new tattoo, and as with other videos I see my differences left to right. You'll probably find one side will feel easier too -just notice it, accept it and don't force it to go where it doesn't want to yet.....
If you feel any pain, tingles, numbness please stop - if this is a regular occurrence please see someone.!
Comments and feedback and questions are welcome below...
Thanks and happy unwinding!!
