Wall-facing tuck-handstand

THE WHAT:
The wall-facing tuck-handstand can play a double role in practice. Firstly, in the context of HANDSTAND practice, it can be used to explore to pattern the structure & form of the tuck HS, build proprioception of the legs & accustom to the stresses particular to the form.
Secondly, wall-facing tuck HS can serve as a shoulder & thoracic MOBILITY & STABILITY drill. In this context, however, it must be executed with a specific intention to avoid excessive passive stretching of the shoulders which can ultimately lead to shoulder INstablilty. Like any potent mobility tool, it must be executed optimally with a dosage appropriate to the practitioner.

THE WHAT:
The 'low bridge' is a context which has the dual benefit of developing mobility in the anterior chain, as well opening up movement possibilities. As the lumbar spine is also in a much more neutral position than in a high-bridge, for example, it can still be practiced even by those with ...
