This week, we'll look at part 2, which is mobility. Mobility is moving the joints of your head, neck and shoulders to prevent stiffness and irritation. Mobility is ACTIVE MOTION, and isn't the same as flexibility, which is more holding a long stretch.
Increasing mobility of your shoulders is an easy way to prevent tightness in your neck and shoulders.
Start standing or sitting, with strong upright posture. Roll your shoulders back and down with your arms straight out in front of you. Repeat 5-10 repetitions to increase mobility in your shoulders.
Now let's work on neck mobility. With your head upright and not tilted forward, turn and look as far as possible to the right, then back to the middle, then to the left. Repeat this for 5 looks to each side. Think about gliding smoothly through this motion.You can also do this with tipping your right ear to your right shoulder and left ear to left shoulder.
