Week 36 - Upper Back Focus
No Chill, No Gains
•
44m
We're focusing on the upper back this week, an area know as the Posterior Mediastinum, which is particularly important for our movement health and posture. If this area of our rib cage becomes compressed and tight, it can have many implications throughout the body. So this will be great for anybody who feels especially tight in the mid to upper back, has limited rotation in their trunk or feels like they have a forward head posture.
EQUIPMENT:
- A mat.
- Some wall space.
- 1-2 towels.
- A pillow.
- A pilates ball, foam roller (or similar).
- A hardback book.
- A chair, high stool or elevated surface to lean on.
- Supportive shoes (optional but recommended).
