Description: |
- Make sure your hips, low and mid back, as well as head and shoulders are flat against the wall.
- Engage the core musculature to keep contact with the wall and prevent ribs from elevating.
- Start by establishing back position, followed by rotating hands towards the wall.
- Once the position in point 3 is established begin to overhead press/slide above head without losing wall contact.
- The movement should improve shoulder mobility and upper body postural control.
