This is my favourite stretching exercise and one I use almost every day with clients. I recorded this video more than 3 years ago but it is the best one I have done showing the move in multiple angles!
Feldenkrais – a system of physical exercise that aims to improve human functioning by increasing self awareness through movement – was founded by MoshΓ© Pinchas Feldenkrais , a Ukrainian – Israeli engineer and physicist, born in 1904.
The Shoulder Spine Integrator was designed specifically to help improve upper body posture and to stretch out tight shoulders, upper chest and neck muscles. The main focus points are
- to focus on your breathing
- to build up to the full stretch
- to use slow controlled movements.
Have a go – see the steps below – and I would love to hear from you here with any questions or feedback.
