This workshop focuses on the shoulder girdle, the shoulder mechanics and their function. A strong, stable and supportive shoulder girdle is essential for our daily functional activities, particularly when we are engaging in higher intensity workload.

​

Shoulder-related issues are among the most frequently encountered problems experienced by clients and they can have an adverse effect on our posture and range of motion.

​

Concepts and exercises include:

 

1. head, neck and shoulder placement

​

2. strengthening muscles related to neck, shoulders and upper back to achieve dynamic stability for support   around joints and dynamic mobility for coordinated movement

​

3. alignment of upper and lower body and their relationship

​

4. importance of breathing and breathing techniques

​

5. stretches to release pain and tension
