APPI Clinical Pilates Matwork Level 1 Spine Twist

APPI Clinical Pilates Matwork Level 1 Spine Twist
A wonderful exercise to do at your desk while working at home and to share with your clients.
 
 
Invite all thoracic and upper lumbar vertebrae to be involved equally in this enjoyable movement.
 
Using your breath to mobilise from the inside.
 
Breath in to prepare and rotate vertebrae by vertebrae on the out breath to one side. Breath in and out to return to centre and repeat to the other side.
 
Mobilise the thoracic spine and retrain correct siting posture without the shearing through the thoracolumbar junction.
 
Arms up or across the chest.
 
Modify by moving the rib and thoracic spine with the head remaining forward. Isolating this movement allows for neck mobility also.
 
PS A Home video wouldn’t be complete without a pet close by. Lucky the kids were elsewhere!
