Flexibility Series Day 8 - Shoulders



Are you feeling all hunched up and tense in your upper back and shoulders? Have you been sat at a desk or in a car for a long time?


Try this movement every day for a few minutes, or as long and as often as you like to open up tension in the chest and shoulders. You can even do it whilst sat at your computer. If using a dowel like I am in the video, you can even add some load with a fractional plate over time, however get used to this without load to begin with.


Shoulder passthroughs (Perform this for 2 - 4 minutes or 30-50 repetitions)


This is a great way to open up your shoulders and allow them to rotate, which they are designed to do. Use a wooden dowel, a resistance band a Yoga strap or some stretchy clothing for these. Start with a nice wide grip and gradually you can bring the hands in a little. Start with some slow repetitions, once again picking up some speed as you move too. Keep your pinky fingers down and allow your shoulder blades to glide on the rib cage. You can also add holds with the object behind your back. Squeeze the object irradiating throughout your body for up to 30 seconds at a point you feel the stretch in your chest. Then bring the object back over in front of you. Repeat the process as often as you like.



There is an entire section in the MVMT library to help you improve your shoulder mobility as well as my 30 day Mobility challenge. You can check it all out for FREE for 7 days. Happy Moving! :)

Printing inks are complex mixtures used to transfer text and images onto various surfaces such as paper, plastic, metal, and textiles.

Aromatic solvents are a class of organic chemicals primarily derived from petroleum sources, consisting of one or more aromatic rings such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and ethylbenzene. These solvents are widely used in industrial and commercial applications due to their high solvency power, which allows them to dissolve a variety of resins, oils, and synthetic materials effectively. Their chemical structure includes a stable ring of carbon atoms with alternating double bonds, giving them unique properties such as high boiling points and low water solubility. They are commonly employed in the formulation of paints, varnishes, adhesives, pesticides, and cleaning agents.

Despite their widespread utility, aromatic solvents pose certain health and environmental risks. Prolonged exposure to compounds like benzene is known to have…
