🔑 Active thoracic spine mobilization improves posture, breathing efficiency, and overall shoulder and neck mechanics—key for anyone who trains hard or sits often. Incorporating these movements keeps your upper back moving fluidly, reducing compensations and stiffness. A mobile thoracic spine supports better performance and longevity in both sport and daily life.

🔑 Warming up your shoulders with bands before lifting is one step in keeping your muscles and tendons prepped for you workout. Band work helps activate stabilizing muscles around the shoulder blade and rotator cuff, improving mobility and control before you load up. This prepares your body for heavier resistance and decreases the risk of irritation or strain. Don’t skip the prep.

🔑 If you’ve been feeling tightness, clicking, or discomfort with pressing or overhead movements, call/DM to schedule a shoulder assessment and make sure your mechanics are moving the way they should.
