Continuing where we left off, this is the third portion of a shoulder mobility flow to help reset & nourish the tissue in the shoulder joint

If too much fluid builds in one area, it creates pressure and other things need to compensate since water cannot.

If you are experiencing shoulder discomfort, pain or a lack in range of motion, this band assisted mobility flow might help.

A little bit of traction is used to help create space and allow the shoulder to naturally recenter itself reducing friction and discomfort.

By Brandy Coghill - Once we have developed a specific pattern of movement our physical and mental state will make note of these patterns.

Pain is both physical and emotional 100% of the time

The positioning allows you to incorporate core, glute and hamstring activation working on full body engagement and muscle sequencing.

For mobility to take place in any joint, there needs to be stability for your nervous system to allow the movement.

This video explains a simple 4 position exercise sequence that will hit all the varying actions of this muscle group.

If you don’t have healthy adductors, you won’t have healthy glutes and you’ll probably suffer from back pain.

The hip hinge is a key element as studies have shown that peak contractions of this muscle occurred in positions of hip flexion.

Clinically, I’ve found dysfunction in this muscle to commonly be correlated with hip and or low back pain among other things.

It addresses the top range (short or end range) portion of a hamstring curl or knee flexion which is so often neglected.

These two muscles play an important role in hip stabilization during any single-leg weight bearing activities such as walking or running.

Assessments performed by an RMT can help distinguish the source of the pain that you may be feeling instead of just addressing the symptoms.

Isometrics can be a great way to strengthen weaknesses throughout a range of motion in a movement.

The serratus anterior has traditionally been one of the most overlooked, yet important muscles for structural wellness.

To effectively stimulate and strengthen a muscle, you need to know its functions so that you can activate and load it appropriately.

Our hips/core region of the body is a central intersection that everything else connects with in some way shape or form.

For most, stretching is the afterthought of their exercise routines. You hear it all the time, “I just don’t stretch enough.”
