Do your own mobility self assessment!

This is a live session where we dive into the best spine and hip self assessments and stretches to practice daily to get out of and prevent back and hip pain. The first exercise is our version of the "Bretzel"...This really helps mobilize the fascia within the Spiral Line in the body and all of the musculature that runs around the hips and spine. Notice we also use our EYES and HEAD movements to increase our range of motion! The Second Exercise is some contract/relax your hamstrings for those of you that sit for work, run and cycle...Hamstrings are attached into your low back region and should always be self assessed. Notice that he has to maintain spine stability (core engagement) BEFORE lifting or straightening his leg to get a better stretch and have better body control with less dysfunction that commonly leads to pain! The third exercise is a series of rolling patterns that you learned when you were a baby but forgot how to do as an an adult....So important for overall mobility of the body. Focus on going slow and feeling every joint in your spine move as you roll...If you feel this is difficult spend a couple weeks everyday for 20 minutes and you'll feel like a new person!
