Our shoulders are rounded forward or tight creating tension in the neck Our upper backs seem to be 'locked and loaded' these days! They are locked up because of so much sitting, driving, bad posture, computer use, television viewing. They are loaded with the burdens of responsibility, keyboard use, repetitive motions, and general stress.

We can learn to mobilize the shoulders and ‘drop’ them, and we can use them to mobilize the ribs and upper back.

The upper back is more difficult to move than the lower back or neck due to the ribs. This workshop will explore how to mobilize the thoracic vertebrae and activate the muscles of the upper back. We can use the shoulder blades to facilitate this and also to mobilize the shoulders and arms from the core instead of stressing the arms, wrists and hands.

Developing core thoracic strength and mobility is the key to suppleness and ease in the neck, upper back and shoulders.

This is a hybrid workshop – both online and in person.
