Hey MWod Beasts,

Today’s work piece is all about mobilizing the evil behind forward head on neck position.

Muscles and tissues are like obedient dogs. Be the master.

Hey Kelly,

I inquired a few weeks back about a larger ball for hitting the psoas. I picked up a regulation softball which is very firm and works great for getting deep. Just an FYI for everyone.

Whenever I start doing the first stretch on the right side, my right hand starts falling asleep. Fine on the left side. Should I conclude anything from this?

Just wondering how often you would recommend working through a sequence of tack floss etc for the neck/shoulder? Is it something you can do daily if you really want to see some improvement?

This blog is intended as a jump off point for athletes to systematically begin to address their nasty tissues and grody joint mobility. Use at your own risk and stop if you think it's gonna hurt you, your spine is going to come out your throat, or your face goes numb. But, understand that you should be responsible for your own business. Don't wait until you need a new knee. Pony up.
