To end the May Spinal mobility series. I have to share one of my favorite exercises, The Pilates roll-down. This movement feels good in my back and connects me deeply to my core structure. It can be a safe and effective exercise if you focus on the detail in the movement. But please know moving too quickly and working from your global muscles can cause more harm than good by putting excess pressure on the pelvic floor and compressing the spine.

Over the last few weeks, I've highlighted exercises such as the cobra, cat cow, and thoracic rotation to help you reduce stiffness, increase strength, and range of motion in the back. To continue to support your spine; abdominal exercises is just as important. One of my forms of fitness is pilates. Pilates focus on working on smaller postural muscles from the pelvic floor, the spine, and abs. This week I'm sharing 3 abdominal moves to better support your spinal health.

Many of you have probably experienced the aches and pains of sitting behind a desk or standing on your feet all day.

This month is all about spinal health! Remember daily spinal mobility, even for 5-minutes will help reduce stiffness, increase strength, and improve range of motion!

This month I'll share my favorite mobility poses to help you reduce stiffness, increase strength, and improve range of motion in your spine!
