Shoulder & Thoracic mobility 30 day challenge

Over the next 30 days and beyond, we want you to improve your shoulder & upper back mechanics by completing our daily exercise every day.

By following our little and often method, we are going to improve your squat pattern by increasing the mobility and range of motion of your key joint structures and muscle groups.

Every day we have set you 1-2 key exercises or drills to complete, which are going to step by step improve the way you move.

By improving your thoracic mechanics we are going to be combatting and preventing a whole array of problems & injuries:

  • Stiff Neck

  • Shoulder impingement

  • Frozen shoulder

  • Poor overhead postures & positions

Remember that the focus of each of these exercises or drills is to spend time improving your range of motion, so don’t rush through the movements, give yourself time to breath and control each repetition.

Quality of your efforts is far more important than the quantity with this program
