Yoga for Stiff Shoulders + Yoga for Shoulder Stiffness

Apr 12

If you have stiff shoulders like I do (yes, my hand is raised); JUST stretching doesn’t cut it.

Self-Myofascial Release is a soft-tissue manipulation technique where you use a tool (in this case, a RADRoller Recovery Round) to alleviate pain and stiffness.

Combined with stretching and strengthening, MFR is a game changer for stiff shoulders.

Try it:

➡️ Lay down and place the MFR Ball in the thoroughfare of soft tissue between your shoulder blade and your spine (see picture)

➡️ Open your arm to the side and breathe deeply

➡️ Gently circle your arm, leading with a bent elbow

➡️ Allow the MFR ball to sink into these tissues

➡️ After 2 minutes, remove the ball and notice your increased range of motion and decreased stiffness

Don’t forget: I’ve recorded the BEST Yoga Therapeutics Classes for you to “Stretch and Strengthen Shoulders” on my At-Home Yoga Therapeutics Subscription.
