Core-Tex D2 Squat for Shoulder Health

Using the spiraling motion of the PNF pattern, and the coil-to-uncoil applications of Core-Tex, we can produce a fully integrated movement for the shoulder girdle.  Pay special attention to the cues for hand positioning to optimize the response of the entire shoulder girdle and thoracic back.  Use this integrated move for rehab, prehab or a dynamic warm-up for upper body activities.

The study we are sharing with you in this post looked at strength training of 58 older women and 6 males under age 70 .  The comparison was strength training with vs. without the use of unstable surfaces.
