Your Missing Link to Neck & Shoulder Pain Relief | Upper Back Extensions

In a flexion addicted society, we need as much back strengthening as we can get. We spend most of our time in a rounded, hunched forward posture, creating shortness through the chest and weakness and often pain in the upper back. This posture compromises our breathing, digestion, nervous system, muscle function, joint mobility, and a whole lot more.
But we can gradually reverse this pattern by adding upper back strengthening techniques to our routines, and cutting back on flexion-based exercises such as crunches. Join me as I walk you through a progression of upper back exercises. If you make these a regular practice, you will find that your spine is straighter, your shoulders are relaxed, and neck, shoulder, or upper back pain is gone!

I feel like I wasn’t doing this correctly as I kept really feeling it in my lower back but I’m going to keep trying!

You might need to learn how to engage your core muscles properly before you can do this without lower back pain. This can get you started: ruclips.net/video/UvUnUSGXAVM/видео.html

Thank you........Is it ok to do these exercises, if you have lumbar issues?

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

Only if you follow what I say in the video - engage your core, press your pubic bone into the mat and lift your navel up from the mat. This core engagement protects your lower back and provided stabilization for you to safely extend your upper back. If you're not sure what I mean, I recommend taking some beginner Pilates classes to help you connect with and activate your core muscles.
