Move how your body wants to move! 🧘‍♀️

I had no plan this morning. I just got on the mat and started moving.

Listen to your body. If it feels good, DO IT!! 🌊 ☀️

This video is 20 seconds of fun 🤩 Some sun salutations, a couple of twists, a dash of core, a bit of balance and some time upside down 🤸‍♂️.

Movement doesn’t have to be yoga, it can be a walk down the beach 🏖, kicking a ball with your kids ⚽️ , or gardening 👩‍🌾. Make it something you enjoy. 🙃

However, if your body isn’t comfortable in a position 😖 or if you have been pushing through pain 🛑 STOP ✋
It’s time to get it looked at. It’s much easier to manage in the early stages (before you make it worse!) 😵‍💫

DM me if you have any questions 🤔 and have a beautiful Friday 😆

Mindful movement for UPPER BACK STIFFNESS.

The poses:
1) Cow 🐮(spinal extension)
2) Cat 🐱(spinal flexion)
3) Down Dog 🐶 (spinal extension plus lengthening)
4) Thread the Needle 🪡 (upper back rotation)
5) Shoulder blade squeezes 💪🏻 (upper back extension and strength for posture)
6) Up dog 🐶 (spinal extension plus lengthening).

These 6 poses not only help alleviate upper back tightness, it can prevent poor posture and pain associated with stiff joints.

DM me any questions or if you have upper back pain and want it gone.

Mondays mindful movement for
UPPER BACK STIFFNESS 🧘‍♀️

After a week of lockdown and not doing enough of my regular exercise, my back started getting stiffer and stiffer (thanks Netflix).

I decided to take some time out this morning and work through a series of back opening positions.

Like yoga, these movements work on loosening stiff joints and promote synovial fluid (your natural joint lubricator) to move in and out of the joint spaces. This increases range of motion and reduces symptoms like pain and stiffness.

Stay tuned for a break down of each of these poses.

Part Two: HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SHOULDER MOBILITY, ESPECIALLY FOR A FRONT RACK POSITION.

By increasing the flexibility of your triceps, yours shoulders and elbows will sit higher in your front rack position. This allows a more upright position and better alignment when receiving a bar.

This is especially important for front squats, cleans and jerks.

Caught on camera doing my McKenzie exercises, after a long drive to sunny coast. ☀️

After a period of prolonged sitting (spinal flexion), it’s important to alleviate tension by moving in the opposite position (repeated spinal extension). For me, this helps free my back, reduces stiffness, and allows me to move with ease.

“The McKenzie Method was developed in the 1960s by Robin McKenzie, a physical therapist in New Zealand. In his practice, he noted that extending the spine could provide significant pain relief to certain patients and allow them to return to their normal daily activities.

The long-term goal of the McKenzie Method is to teach patients suffering from back pain how to treat themselves and manage their own pain for life using exercise and other strategies.”

If you suffer from back pain or stiffness, book to find out if McKenzie exercises are right to you.
