Mobility in the upper back goes one way all day, forwards over a phone, and backwards never gets asked for. The chest drops, the shoulders roll in, and the neck takes the strain the back gave up. Sit tall, hands behind the head, elbows wide, lift the chest and look up, ten slow reps, hold the top for three breaths. Every night before bed. Save this, ten lifts before bed. #movesmethod #upperback #deskjob #mobility #movementculture #rangeofmotion

Floor sitting starts with getting down, and the way down goes before the way back up. Four steps, done slowly, every evening. One, step one foot back into a half kneel. Two, lower the back knee. Three, sit to one side. Four, swing round to cross-legged. Then work back up the same way to stand. Save this and practise the way down. #movesmethod #floorsitting #mobility #getupchallenge #activeageing #jointhealth

Mobility routine gaps come down to five directions a gym programme never trains. Sideways, the side squat. Turning, the seated twist. Overhead, the wall reach. Down, the floor sit and stand. Across, the crawl. One minute each, every morning, and the four gym moves get five directions around them. Comment the direction missing this week. #movesmethod #mobility #movementculture #functionalmovement #antifragile #jointhealth
