Becoming a Supple Leopard review (long): Mobility/Stretching resource

[Catrin]

I have an appt. with my pt next week. He had time today, but I have an extra person to see today. He said he remembered me well and he will be expanding his hours soon as they have expanded the office space he shares with a chiropractor.
Looking forward to reading the book, though.

I think you will find it very helpful in different ways. It is also nice to see pictures on proper form for different lifts and movements. Neither of us knows what will be thrown at us in our gym work and it helps to understand the foundation of how to brace our spines properly so we can not only perform the movement most effectively, but also in a way that won't tweak our injuries. Would I have bought this book without my list of mobility/injury problems? Probably not, and that would have been my loss.

Good luck with the appointment, and glad to hear you were able to get in!

Thanks for sharing. Wow, impressive reviews on amazon (192 of 195 are 5-stars...and the other 3 reviews are 3- and 4-stars).

how to free up our tissues that might be tacked down from any number of reasons (like spending too much time bent over)

This sure caught my attention. "spending too much time bent over"...such as on a bicycle. Yup!

There is a lot in the first few chapters about proper body position in general - so many problems are caused by not sitting properly, movements where we are overly extended or we become so accustomed to our shoulders not being in a stable position that it leads to other things. Not cycling specific of course, but so much of it is usable in many ways. My main concern right now is that I don't reverse all of the work I've done in t-spine mobility and shoulder stability/flexibility by spending too much time on the bike without taking corrective measures and cross-training to balance it out.
