First step in mobilizing the spine and creating space for discs and vertebrae.

Focused spinal work, middle to upper back by sitting back towards our heels to block lumbar spine

Focused mobility work of the the lower back buys blocking the thoracic spine area (mid-upper back)

Once linear lines of spinal segmentation have been established, rotation can be gently added

Intentionally segmenting the spine into flexion and extension rather than stretching the hamstrings and or building the glutes.

Using breathing and isometrics each section of the spine is segmented using controlled articular rotations

Advanced application of CARS with weights and higher irradiation maximal output in sticky positions

Using a balance ball one irradiates along the corresponding line of the spine against the ball.As the spine goes into flexion the contact of the ball lessons, as the spine goes into extension the contact against the ball increases.

A routine specific to engaging the lower back and hips to take pressure off of sciatica.A great way to gain thoracic movement which when it is blocked will put pressure on the lower back and hips.

A short Upper body Controlled Articular Rotations to get the upper body moving

Using the slant board to increase time under tension and irradiation for the spine

A modified approach to gaining extension and length in the lower spine, as well as hips.

Once modified cobra stretch and increased hip extension is achieved one may try the full pose

When floor work is difficult a chair can be used to support spine and hip mobility movements.
