Improve overhead mobility and shoulder comfort by restoring movement through the thoracic spine, ribs, scapulae, and surrounding soft tissues. This class combines nervous-system-based release work with spinal mobility, scapular control, breathing, and rotational movement to create healthier, more efficient overhead mechanics.
Duration: 60 minutes
