Carol Beringer's Amazing Movement Podcast | Season 2, Ep. 6: Studio Exercises - Simple Movements for a Tight Back (2 min)

Wrapping back? Cooking back? We all get tight, especially during busy seasons! Carol shares two simple movements that take just minutes but deliver serious relief. These are perfect for your morning routine or anytime your back needs attention.

The Butterfly Slide mobilizes your hip socket while engaging the back of your body (not the overworked front!), and the combination move adds upper body release. The key? Keep contact with the floor to work the right muscles. Carol's "seven for good luck" approach (based on six-second muscle memory) makes these easy to remember and integrate into daily life.

Brief, effective, and exactly what your tight back needs. These magical movement moments fit into even the most pressure-prompted days.

Meet Beth Grantham: The Science of Fascia and Movement Optimization

In this episode of The Carol Beringer Method: Amazing Movement, host Carol Beringer welcomes Beth Grantham, a physical therapist and mobility specialist from Brazil with 25 years of experience in movement science. Beth's journey into fascia work began in 2002 when she was introduced to a French school of posture, sparking a passion that led her through four fascial dissection courses and deep study of connective tissue.

Join Carol and Beth as they explore the fascinating world of fascia—the connective tissue that wraps around every muscle, organ, nerve, and vessel in your body. 

Watch as Beth demonstrates her fascial reorganization technique on Carol, targeting the quadratus lumbaris and thoracolumbar fascia to create space, improve mobility, and reduce pain. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel, or simply want to optimize your movement, this conversation reveals how fine-tuning your fascia can transform how your body functions.

About Elizabeth Grantham:
Beth Grantham is a physical therapist with 25 years of experience specializing in fascia, movement science, and postural reeducation. Trained in Brazil and certified in multiple modalities including Pilates and Rolfing concepts.
