🧘🏼 Get ready to release tension and improve mobility in your shoulders and neck! In this episode, Carol addresses one of the most common complaints she hears in her Pilates studio: "I'm so tight in my shoulders and neck." Using a lightweight Thera-band, she guides you through simple yet effective movements that create immediate relief.
Learn protraction and retraction of the shoulder blades, elevation and depression movements, and how proper arm positioning engages your entire core. Carol demonstrates how these "unremarkable movements with remarkable benefits" help counteract the effects of computer work, driving, and our forward-focused daily activities.
Perfect for all ages and abilities, this episode continues Carol's weekly series designed to help you use your body well through functional movement that makes everything else you do better.
