Open Arm Twist Hold | Seated Spine & Shoulder Mobility
Seated spine twist and shoulder mobility exercise.
This movement opens the chest while the twist encourages movement through the spine and ribcage. When the ribcage rotates, the small joints between the ribs and spine move as well. This can help reduce stiffness around the shoulders and upper back and allow the breathing muscles to work with less effort.
Give a little more attention to your exhale. A slightly longer exhale encourages the ribcage to settle and the diaphragm to rise, which can support more efficient breathing and help the nervous system shift toward a calmer state.
Move more of yourself.
