Sooo much more than just a stretch, you will feel the immediate benefits of working deeply into the entire shoulder girdle, rotator cuffs and surrounding muscles. The unique anatomy of the shoulder makes it the most commonly injured joint in the body as it has the greatest range of motion with the least stability. Often when we experience pain we believe we need to stretch or 'open' this area more, in fact it's quite the opposite - stability is KEY and this is the aim of this short class - a mini rehab for your shoulders. I recommend doing this class if you use your shoulders a lot (everyone!) not just when you encounter niggles or discomfort - prevention is the goal here!
Required Equipment
- Yoga Strap
Optional Equipment
- Mat
Adding this to my routine as an accessory to my CrossFit training for injury prevention and help with proper shoulder positioning (and activation of the upper back) during heavy lifting etc. Nice and quick too - so realistic for fitting into a busy busy schedule!
