Tired of the same old mobility routines that never seem to help? Stop right there! This video is all about getting your shoulder pain under control by targeting an often neglected but crucial component of shoulder function—the ribcage. Yup, you heard that right, the ribcage! In this video, we'll dive deep into the fascinating dynamics of the ribcage and its significant influence on shoulder function. You'll discover specific exercises to target each area of your ribcage in a methodical order that maximizes the effectiveness of the movements. We'll also highlight when to seek immediate medical attention for certain shoulder issues. Included in this video are exercises for: 1️⃣ Altering ribcage dimensions to enhance shoulder mobility. 2️⃣ Encouraging posterior ribcage expansion to alleviate scapular winging and improve a flat back representation. 3️⃣ Fostering anterior ribcage expansion to improve rounded shoulders. 4️⃣ Facilitating complete ribcage and spinal rotation to optimize overhead mobility. Remember, the road to recovery is a journey, not a race. Be patient with your progress and stay consistent with your exercises. Also, don't forget to check out our video on common movements to improve neck issues linked here! Questions or experiences to share? Drop a comment below!

Are you tired of being told to sit up straight and pull your shoulders back to fix your rounded posture? In this video, we will discuss why these common fixes miss out on the most important factor when it comes to having a more upright posture. I will show you strategies that work to improve your rounded shoulders. Did you know that a more slouched posture is an efficient strategy to breathe? However, it can lead to negative health effects such as mouth breathing. The legit fix for rounded shoulders is to expand the front of the chest to have a dynamic ribcage. We will go through a sequence of exercises to help open up the hips and chest to reduce rounded shoulders. Join me and let's improve your posture for good!

⏰ TIMESTAMPS ⏰

(00:00) - Why do rounded shoulders exist?

(02:15) - This exercise expands the anterior-posterior ribcage dimensions

(03:16) - Using gravity to open up the chest

(04:48) - The first chest opener

(05:53) - Exercise progressions

It is explained that during walking, the pelvis rotates towards the stance leg, which can only occur if there is a fixed point below. The fixed points are the inner heel and the base of the big toe. Many lower body mobility drills don't focus on this ability to contact these two points into the ground, which can limit the ability to produce force in the ground. The video provides drills to create awareness of these two points. These drills can be incorporated into any drill where the foot stays flat, resulting in better mobility. ⏰ TIMESTAMPS ⏰ 00:00 - This impacts EVERY exercise 00:54 - How walking and the foot relates to all exercises 04:23 - You NEED this at your ankle 05:44 - The best foot mob EVER (don't skip the last move though, I SEE YOU) 06:50 - Functional dorsiflexion (whatever that means) 07:29 - This helps with push off 08:06 - lateral movements ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ The information provided in this video is for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

However, we'll also discover the fatal flaw in the way many people coach breathing, which may limit the gains received from these exercises. The technique of belly breathing is not biomechanically suitable for maximizing lung expansion and can lead to increased back musculature activity, limiting ribcage movement and decreasing the effectiveness of breathing exercises. We'll explain the proper technique for breathing to maximize your range of motion gains and get better gas exchange. We'll also discuss why mouth breathing can have negative effects, and how nasal breathing can provide many health benefits if done with the right technique, including increased nitric oxide production, which helps dilate blood vessels and the bronchi, and humidifying the air to reduce stress on the lungs. Proper tongue placement during nasal breathing is also essential to decrease nasal resistance. Watch this video to learn the correct breathing strategy to enhance the effectiveness of your breathing exercises (and I'll even show you how to do it when you lift) ⏰ TIMESTAMPS ⏰ 00:00 - Don't EVER breathe this way 02:58 - How to breathe during the day 05:51 - How to breathe during mobility drills 08:26 - How to breathe during weightlifting 09:34 - How to breathe when lifting SUPER HEAVY weights ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ The information provided in this video is for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
