Mobility Sessions

This August we were able to launch our free community mobility classes! For those who were unable to attend, let’s review:
Hip Mobility:
All that was needed for this session was a type of vertical support (a wall), a towel or blanket, and room to move. This session was focused on stretching the hips and muscles of the lower back. We concentrated on hip flexors, quads, inner thighs, hamstrings, and glutes.
Exercises you can do for your hips:

• Couch Stretch
• Reclined pigeon
• Shin boxes
• assisted hamstring stretch

T-Spine Mobility:
all that was required in this session was a type of vertical support (a wall), a towel or blanket, and room to move. The focus of the session was on moving the 12 vertebrae that make up our T-spine. Our T-spine is the section of our spine that allows for the most movement. In order to improve movement in this area of our spine, we concentrated on stretching our shoulders, mid-back, and hip flexors in this session.
Exercises you can do for your t-spine:

• cat/cow
• Thread the needle
• Hip-locked t-spine rotations

Neck & Shoulder Mobility:
All that was needed in this session was a chair and room to move. The focus of the session was stretching the neck and shoulders. The neck, shoulders, and shoulder blades are partners in movement; in order for one part to move well each area has to do its job. We concentrated on moving our head, shoulders, and scapula in this session.
exercises you can do for your neck and shoulders:

• wrist, elbow, & shoulder circles
• head turns & nods
• YTA’s
• lateral side bends
