Unlock Your Shoulders with These 3 Simple Movements

9/17/2023

0 Comments

 
Hands down - the hips, back and shoulders are the areas of the body my clients always struggle with the most.

Quite literally, clients are challenged to actually get their hands up and over head and they are doing all sorts of funky movements to get their hands there.

Is that you?

Are you dealing with stiff, sticky and cranky shoulders that need some TLC?

This week I've got you!

Shoulder issues can show up as previous injuries but also can be a shift and change in the shoulder's ability to move. The arm bone doesn’t have the freedom of movement it once had in the shoulder socket.

This can come down to how well the shoulder blades are moving on the rib cage. And you have two of them, of course!

In this next instalment of Real Moves for Real Life, I share 3 specific movements that bring awareness to your shoulder blades and provide an opportunity for them to move.

Here are movements you can do in less than 10 minutes that will bring the freedom of movement back into your shoulders.
​
Jump right in!

All you need is a strap or a belt or an old neck tie, a mat or chair, and a medium firmness ball like a tennis ball.

After you've gone through the movements, what did you notice in yours shoulders?

Can you reach up above your head to give me a double high five? 🙌🏼 And with ease?

Hit reply on this email and let me know how your shoulders feel NOW.

Let’s start this next week with relaxed shoulders!

Stay well and happy moving,
Lisa

P.S. Did you know I have a YouTube series called Real Moves for Real Life? If you have missed any of the other episodes, here is a link to the playlist. ​
