Spinal ‘segmentation’ drills
Spine & scap: 'local' & integrated patterns
•
6m 22s
THE WHAT
These drills are provided as frames within which to develop range, foundational motor-control, and also semantic & physical literacy concerning regions of the spine (lumbar, thoracic, cervical) and planes of motion (frontal, sagittal, transverse: https://www.movemoremp.com/wp-content/uploads/basic-planes-of-motion.png). It is achieved by using predominantly isometric holds in the end-ranges to "mark" them on the motor-map, and then these end-ranges are ultimately brough together into circular motions which, likewise, express & develop the end-range of movement.
Whilst there are just two main points of initiation (the head and the rib-cage), the effect of their frontal & sagittal extension and circular motions elicit a mobilisatory & range-development stimulus to all regions of the spine, i.e. the lumbar (lower-back), thoracic (mid/upper) and cervical (neck) regions. In this way the practitioner also begins to feel these regions, become aware of restrictions, their movement potential, and are empowered with some fundamental tools for their development.

Taking an 'In Focus' look at the concept of 'Hip-hiking' and 'Hip-dropping', a mechanism which is implicit in and must be understood & EMBODIED for optimal execution of developmental spinal-patterns located to the lumbar-region, such as the 'Frontal pelvic-roll' and the integrated 'Pelv... -
IN FOCUS: Spinal 'rolling'
THE WHAT:
Sharing some perspectives on the practice of "spinal 'rolling', as both the concept and its embodiment in execution is often challenging for beginners of "isolated" spinal-work, or spinal-work in general. In more technical terms, we are practicing set thoracic & pelvic undulations about... -

THE WHAT
Rib-cage & pelvic-"rolling" is a conceptual practice of drawing circular patterns through planes of motion (sagittal & frontal/coronal) in space. It is impossible to truly "isolate" any movement, but we work with this as a CONCEPT to focus & structure practice around a given spinal-regio...
