DESCRIPTION
The Power3 – Shoulder Releases result in better shoulder and upper core movement, strength, endurance, and recovery for those who perform upper body exercises, use the upper body in running movements, and enjoy sports and recreational activities that involve throwing, swinging, lifting, hitting, and much more. It targets the muscle groups
that can impact the position and posture of the shoulder complex as well as the upper back and neck positions, during activity and times of recovery. This allows for better
movement quality so your upper body can adapt to training, recover for the next day, and improve your experience regardless of your level of fitness or sports activity.
Please watch the video for instructions to perform this MOBO release.
TIPS
- You can perform Box Breathing at each location to encourage release. (Box Breathing is when you breathe in through the nose with mouth closed for a count of 4, pause for a count of 4, slowly exhale through the nose for a count of 4, then pause for again for a count of 4). Then perform the press and move described.
