Why This Workshop

When a client arrives and says shoulder issue do you go into freeze? A client with shoulder issues can become debilitating. Know where to begin with them and how to take them forward.

What you will Learn

  1. Shoulder Mechanics: The Basics and Beyond

    • Explore the fundamental question: Are your shoulders up, down, or all around? Learn the ideal shoulder positioning during movement and at rest.

    • Understand what should happen to your shoulders when you lift your arms—get to the root of common issues that lead to discomfort or injury.

  2. Engaging the Right Muscles: Triceps, Mid-Back, and Tackling Bingo Wings

    • Discover how to activate and connect the triceps, mid-back, and those "pesky" bingo wings (upper arm fat) for a leaner, stronger upper body.

    • Practical exercises will help you build these connections, making them second nature in your daily movements and workouts.

  3. Building on the Pelvic Foundation: Connecting to the Upper Powerhouse

    • For those familiar with our Boot workshops, we'll build on your pelvic foundation knowledge, showing how it supports the development of the Upper Powerhouse.

    • Learn techniques to enhance the Secondary Power House—a concept coined by Romana Kryzanowska—that focuses on the upper body’s strength and stability.

  4. Practical Tools for Managing Tricky Shoulders

    • Gain insights into managing clients with shoulder challenges, including modifications, progressions, and injury prevention strategies.

    • Hands-on practice will ensure you leave with practical knowledge that can be applied immediately.
