How rich is your movement? When was the last time you rolled on the ground? Inverted yourself? Jumped, kicked, or swung? As you acquire more movement complexity you will become more armored to injury and more capable of dealing with all of life’s situations. Many adults as they get older injure them themselves falling. Learning to roll from the ground to your feet and reversing the movement back to the ground is a worthy movement practice!

Unlocking the Pain in Your Neck

A 4-Part Movement Series

Your neck doesn’t have an easy job. It supports the weight of a bowling ball balanced on top of a very long lever called the spine. Many factors can impact the healthy function of your neck, such as poor posture, eyesight, whiplash, overuse, lack of skeletal support, challenging children 😊 (stress), etc. Sometimes the cure is as easy as new prescription eyewear, but often it’s an accumulation of habits we’ve come to acquire.

This four-part series will explore finding greater comfort, ease, support, and connection. You’ll discover how the neck is connected to the arms, shoulders, thoracic spine, and pelvis. All these parts must work collectively to avoid developing problem areas where sheering or compressive forces begin to poke at your neck!

You will learn concrete movement principles to address your neck discomfort. These will include concepts such as:

The carriage of the head serves to tonify the body

Support- your muscular tension is dependent on the specificity of support from the surface.

Skeleton affords the ideal path for action

Evenly distributed muscular tone

Through the four lessons, you will understand how to produce efficient movement free of parasitic muscular contraction. You will discover more support, stability, and ease in your neck movements and the rest of your body. The lessons will demonstrate that there is no limit to learning or refinement. They are simply a launching board for self-directed learning, as these principles can be applied to your daily activities and sports.
