Neck, shoulders and upper back, 6: Contraction and extension of the upper spine

by | Jun 8, 2025

A Micro Pause where we flex and contract the upper back. Flexion and contraction is probably something you do often, even without thinking of it. So here we do it while thinking of it intensively. With full awareness, trying to notice the subtle sensations, and trying to negotiate with the body to release deep seated tension in the upper back.
