First step! Let’s get those spines moving! Here we have 2 great ways to move your spine into flexion/extension, rotation and let’s not forget about side flexion!
Give it a go and let me know if you have any questions!

Here we have a quick and easy way to check 2 of your spine movements, with focus on the middle back.
Being mobile in this area is going to make it much easier to achieve your shoulder mobility and strength goals 👍🏻
Bonus! Having control in this area will also make a HUGE difference to our postural awareness
Let me know how it goes!

Overhead mobility.. but FIRST spine mobility 🤔 If we’re stiff through our spines it’s going to make it a lot harder to achieve that overhead position
This week, keep an eye out for posts on how to check your mobility and how to start working on it!

HOW TO STRENGTHEN YOUR SHOULDER BLADES!
Once you have control of your movement, strengthen it!
First off, for all of these moves make sure to have your core slightly engaged and don’t let your ribs stick out.
Next, be aware of where your shoulder blades are - we don’t want them squashing up to your ears or poking off your back (winged scapula).
Strength and mobility in this area is great for preventing and treating shoulder and neck injuries!
SWIMMERS! 🏊🏻♀️🏊🏻♀️ These are great for giving us the mobility and strength needed for a smooth, efficient stroke - especially in waves!
