Looking for something different than stretching & foam rolling for mobility work? Try using CARs principles as seen here in this specific CARs routine.⠀ ・・・⠀ 🎥 By @tjackhanrahanfitness ⇐ Thank you 🙌⠀ ・・・⠀ This is a routine of CARs which stands for ‘controlled articulate rotations’. For the sake of simplicity, think of them as slow, controlled circles at each joint performed while solidifying the body so as to avoid any compensatory movement. CARs are great for mobility, joint health and improving motor control.⠀
_____ They are very coaching intensive but here are a few cues to help with the movements:
⠀. 🔹Neck - Imagine there is a pen extending from your chin and draw the biggest circle you can.
⠀. 🔹Thoracic - Imagine drawing a circle with your head. Round the back, rotate shoulders, side bend, extend back, side bent to the other side, rotate, flex and reverse the motion.
⠀. 🔹Shoulder - Shoulder flexion, turn arm inward until palm faces away from you at your hip, reverse motion.
⠀. 🔹Axial - Think of the biceps as rotisserie chickens and turn inward / outward maximally.
⠀. 🔹Scapula - Reach forward, shrug up to the ear, pull blade back to spine, depress into the back pocket. Reverse.
⠀. 🔹Segmental cat camel - Start by tilting the tailbone up (anterior pelvic tilt) and keep arching one vertebrae at a time. Reverse motion.
⠀. 🔹Hip - knee forward, knee out to side, heel to sky, extend back and through. Reverse the motion.
⠀. 🔹Knee - Big toe out (tibia rotation), extend the knee, big toe in, flex the knee. Reverse motion.
⠀. 🔹Ankle - Make circles with the big toe one way then the other.⠀ _______________________________⠀ ✅ Discover reliable, driven health professionals, and quality, useful information.
