🧘🏼 Counteract our forward-focused world with this essential episode on upper back extension! Carol explains how our daily habits - sitting, driving, working at desks - create imbalances that neglect the back of our body, leading to that all-too-common lower back tightness at L4, L5, S1, and S2.In this 9-minute session, Carol guides you through a prone back extension sequence that safely lengthens the spine and activates everything from your tailbone to where your spine meets your head. Learn the proper "kitten lift" technique, single-arm variations that mimic sports movements (golf, tennis, baseball, pickleball), and how to progress to rotational challenges like "peeking under your armpit."The episode concludes with Carol's enhanced version of child's pose - what she calls "resting pose" - incorporating oppositional energy to decompress the spine and integrate the work you've just completed. Perfect for anyone dealing with upper back tension or looking to build strength in neglected movement planes.Chapters00:05 - Introduction to Amazing Movement Philosophy01:30 - Understanding Forward-Focused Imbalances02:52 - Prone Position Setup & Preparation04:20 - Single Arm Extension Variations06:49 - Advanced Rotational Challenges07:19 - Enhanced Resting Pose with Oppositional EnergyAbout Carol Beringer:With 25+ years of experience, Carol combines expertise in brain-based functional movement, Pilates, and yoga to help clients achieve improved posture, pain relief, and lifelong wellness.
