Scapular Function & Coordination Routine
RE-/PREHAB: Shoulders, scap & neck
•
4m 15s
THE WHAT
A basic routine to mobilise, develop neuromuscular-efficiency/”neural-drive”, and restore fundamental function in the scapula and ‘large-frame’ spinal-movement. Working mostly in a prone position on all 4's allows for easier exploration of MAXIMAL shoulder & scapular retraction (facilitated by gravity), a pattern which commonly undergoes a case of “motor-amnesia” when sedentary habits reduce exposure to this range.
Further, the routine incorporates foundational-level ‘spinal-work’, again facilitated by gravity, going through fundamental global-flexion, extensions, and also “circles” toward bringing these ranges back on the cortical-map.

End-range Neck-rotations
THE WHAT & HOW:
A simple yet extremely effective context, practiced regularly & consistently, for developing range of motion & “superficial” neck-restrictions (often experienced as tightness in the neck, shoulders, and/or jaw). In execution, of significant importance is that the pattern is NOT si... -
'Circle of the neck/shoulders'
THE WHAT:
Whilst also a strength ("core") and mobility (neck & posterior-chain) development frame, ultimately these capacities develop within the practice of a fundamental floor-contact transitional movement (i.e. negotiating the head/neck against the floor as the feet/hands remain ANCHORED).It...

'Neck loading' & foot/shoulder "anchors"
THE WHAT:
A fundamental floor-contact concept which allows for displacement of the body in space in relation to shoulder and foot "anchors". In its combination of stepping and rolling, the context marries both OPEN kinetic-chain (extremities moving in relation to body) and CLOSED kinetic-chain (b...
