Cats & Dogs (aka Cat/Cow): 15 repetitions
In this video you'll see the tutorial for the Cats & Dogs (aka Cat/Cow in Yoga). This exercise helps reduce rotation, and dynamic tension/muscle balance discrepancy throughout the kinetic chain from the feet/ankles up to the hips through shoulders, neck and head. By applying a ninety degree load demand at the hips and shoulders, and focusing on the pelvis, spine and scapulo-humeral rhythm, it also assists in re-positioning and engaging the correct pelvic and spinal muscles and their ideal functional response to the demand.
Remember that this is a generic series of corrective exercises, and as with any generic model, may be perfect or not right for you. Do not work through old painful symptoms, only muscular discomfort that is new, muscular in nature and unfamiliar.
See the help of your local Corrective Exercise, Posture Alignment or Mobility Specialist to have a program put together for your unique posture and function needs.
