No, I'm not cleaning the windows... 😜

Just wanted to share one of my go to mobility exercises for thoracic rotation but also hip stability and shoulder mobility. SO.MANY.GOOD.THINGS. 👌

Main focus is the upper back though and it is not a pure shoulder mobility technique. Upper back mobility is must for shoulder mobility. Something cyclist have to continuously work on especially.

Kneel as close as you can next to a wall. Knee down side is closest to the wall. Then while trying to maintain hips position, begin to "windmill" the arm closest to the wall. You will find that your shoulder will move into Internal rotation as you approach overhead and behind you. On return reverse the rotation. The idea is to tap into the thoracic rotation though...and not just reach with your shoulder.

This is also a GREAT option if you have any troubles with disassociating your hip when cornering on the mountain bike. ie aiming your hips one way but torso the other way. You may find you are "stuck" one direction and therefore you either corner better LEFT-vs-RIGHT.

Does this sound like you? I always check a side glide relationship of the pelvis / low back to see any mobility deficits (or pain) from one side-vs-the other. Maybe your cornering improvements answer lies in improving your pelvis/back mobility and control.

Enjoy! 💜🤍💜

Do you experience pain while performing this? Well you shouldn’t, soooooo stop if you do then reach out for a FREE video consult 📞

▫️Muscles work better when the joint mechanics work.
▫️A joint is surrounded by a capsule.
▫️Restriction in this capsule can alter joint mechanics.
▫️Muscles have to work harder if mechanics are off
▫️Mechanics play a role on how much strength is required.
▫️More strength is required if you hold a heavy box out in front of you compared to close to you.
▫️Our joints were designed well to optimize mechanics.
▫️Sometimes life jacks up how well our joints move and therefore how our muscles behave.
▫️ Often 1-2 correctives prescribed clean up the joint. MOST the time we see a change by next visit. Clients have my phone number because we are a TEAM.
▫️ Back to getting RAD 💜 and doing what you love.

Physical Therapists treat mechanical musculoskeletal problems.

10/10 recommend shortening ride time during a heat wave and getting a boba tea instead. 🥰 🥵
