Episode 69: Mobile Spine = Less Pain

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about the Cat Cow pose and when the Segmental Cat Cow pose is for you.    I wanted to talk about this in this podcast because when we do the Cat Cow pose, we stretch the bendiest parts. We want to make each joint move to its fullest capacity but because the body likes to take the path of least resistance, those areas that might be more restricted and have less movement are not going to get the benefit of the movement. In this episode we discuss: [00:36] Introduction to the topic   [2:19] What I am checking when I ask my patients to touch the floor [3:58] The Cat Cow pose and what we check [5:11] The Segmental Cat Cow pose – when is it for you and why is it good for you [7:10] The difference between Cat Cow and Segemental Cat Cow – how to do them [13:31] Why the spine is a great place to start with mobility [14:59] Conclusion If you have any questions, you can drop it in the comment section or you can send me a message through Facebook or Instagram. I’d be happy to do another podcast about your questions. Also, if you want me to talk about something specific, let me know! You can also check my TikTok account as I use the platform to educate viewers about movement, chiropractic education, yoga, pregnancy, and more!  Thank you for listening and see you next week!
