Movement Flow routine for UPPER BODY - shoulders, elbows, and wrists

Remember, you are in charge of how much tension you use: less if you feel pain or instability, and more if you want to progress in building strength in and around that joint.

Move to this class as often as you like!

Class Q&A

Time Stamps:

00:00 - 04:35 - Can I change the position I do this work in if I feel it better in another position? (short answer: hells yes, plus I give a few examples of positions for shoulder internal rotation)

05:59 - 09:38 - I can’t get into (insert specific pose, shape, position); is this where I start using props to ‘get into’ it? (short answer: no + I explain why)

09:38 - 10:42 - The difference this movement creates when it comes to dealing with chronic/long-term pain (I share my experience with my low back pain)
