Freeing the Shoulders and Neck - Feldenkrais Awareness Exercises

ABOUT THE LESSON
Welcome to my channel! If you have pain or a movement problem please read all the advice and instructions below before you begin.

For most people this lesson is a gentle yet very effective way to improve the comfort and mobility of your shoulders and neck. Shoulder and neck pain can make it difficult to exercise or do everyday things. There are many possible causes, including muscular tension, bursitis, tendinitis (or injury to the rotator cuff tendons) and frozen shoulder. Whatever the cause the important thing is to keep yourself moving, but to stay in a range that feels 100%comfortable.

Many people don’t realise that stiffness in the upper back and ribs (thoracic area) creates strain on the shoulders and neck. By improving your thoracic mobility this lesson helps take the strain off adjacent areas.

TIPS FOR MAXIMUM BENEFIT
Pay attention to your breathing - allow it to be natural and easy. Reduce effort and keep the movements Small, Slow and Smooth Don't do anything that doesn't feel right to you. To reduce pain and tension, become an expert in sensing your body more clearly and accurately.

SUGGESTED INSTRUCTIONS
First watch the video, imagining yourself doing the movements smoothly and effortlessly. Then lie down on a comfortable mat, thick carpet or folded blanket and do the movements with your eyes closed, listening to the instructions and paying close attention to the sensations in your body.
