Shoulder Saver Series
We’re all spending too much time in front of screens these days and it takes a toll on our bodies.
Here's part 1 of my Reverse the Desk series. Today we are working on shoulders to relieve accumulated upper back and shoulder pain. These are simple exercises that you can do between meetings or on your lunch break. Click through to see all of the videos on Instagram. Keep an eye out for the rest of the series and new offerings coming for 2021, including Recovery Coaching and small group training.
Reverse the Desk:
Pt 1 Shoulders
This follows the new release/repattern/reset protocol that I have been working on. First we use fam rolling or pressure point ball treatment to soften the area up (release), then we use dynamic exercises to move the body to the new posture we want to be in (repattern), then we use isometric exercises to help ingrain this new pattern into our nervous system (reset). The release work should be done for 30-60 seconds, the repatterning should be done for 10-15 reps, and the reset should be held for 10-20 seconds. Do 1-3 rounds of all exercises throughout the day, one exercise right after the other.
