Deciphering the Upper Body

The upper body is often a mystery.  At first glance, it appears we could call upon the organization of a four legged animal.  The structure of the upper body is similar to the pelvis/hips/legs, however the function and mobility is surprisingly different.    We all crawl in our early development but this ability gets lost on adult humans.   As vertical beings the mobility of our upper joints is confusing when we need to bear weight in Pilates, sports or daily activities.  In this workshop, we will analyze what faulty movement patterns lead to the imbalances of the shoulder girdle and the shoulder joints.   We will then look at how to use the Pilates Method to address these imbalances.
