Back flexibility progress. Around 3 years progress here. The biggest improvement is bending through the whole spine.

I’ve decided I want to seriously consider training to be a contortionist. Problem is my whole body is out of whack, my left hip is rotated forward, my hips face one way and my shoulders another, my mid spine is not moving freely, my right shoulder blade is slightly winged and my shoulder sits higher and the muscles at the top of my spine are in near constant spasm 😭

I’ve known for a long time that these issues existed so it was no newsflash but I hoped to ignore them. Now they are affecting my training. I used to be able to back bend comfortably, now I’ve regressed loads. The above photo was after this amazing thing called a “magic cobra” and took over an hour of activation work to open up my spine, before I was close to this with just a reasonable warm up.

I start treatment with a chiropractor this week. Going to also do a skill swap with our yoga teacher who is also a massage therapist. And try whatever else I need to make this happen!

#tb to the 1st of July when I was doing some back bending in the almost-sunset. Planning on taking a new pic of myself doing this the 1st of October just to see if I’ve done some progress or not. 👐🏼
