Lesson 1Spine Twist Supine / Seated rotation: goals, cues, regressions, progressions, shoulder mobility adaptationsCheck supine and seated rotation to build piece-by-piece spinal mobility and core control. Learn clear goals, setup, cueing, regressions, progressions, and shoulder-friendly adaptations for different client needs.
Movement goals and functional benefitsNeutral setup and safe spinal rangeBreath patterns to support rotationCues for axial elongation and controlShoulder mobility and prop adaptationsLesson 2Side-lying series (clams, leg lifts) for lateral stability: goals, cues, regressions, progressionsUse side-lying clams and leg lifts to train side hip strength and pelvic stability. Dis part cover alignment, cueing, regressions, and progressions to support walk, balance, and low back bounce-back.
