However, pain from the thoracic spine can also radiate around the rib cage and can even be felt in the chest or down the arms. This is often due to pressures put on the spinal nerves from either poor thoracic posture or from a bulging (herniated) disc. In this video we discuss the following. What is the thoracic spine? What is it meant to do? What injuries are common in the thoracic spine? What good thoracic posture and mobility look like? What dysfunctional thoracic postures are there? How to increase thoracic mobility and relieve pain?

Knee Rehab Runner's Hang Video: https://youtu.be/P25Kb724ESU Website: https://www.moversodyssey.com Medical Disclaimer: https://www.moversodyssey.com/medical-disclaimer Chaos training is a modality of strength training that incorporates elements of instability and chaos such as unstable surfaces, shifting resistance, or other unpredictable forces which the body must contend with. Some training modalities that would fit within the umbrella term "chaos training" would include balance training, offset load training, sand bag training, muscle confusion, perturbation training, instability training, etc... This type of training is great for creating greater stabilization in the joints, which is why its often used as prehab and rehab. It's also been used extensively to increase proprioception and to improve exercise form. #injuryprevention #injuryrehab #stabilitytraining #prehab #kneepain #proprioception #balancetraining #sandbagtraining #jointhealth #gymnasticrings

Brick House Core Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpIWwPRAxvM&list=PLCfkJE_BMVwuwuiBEgVna_-1hjiMjTis5&index=2 Standard Ab Wheel w/ Knee Pad: https://amzn.to/4gxs7Rp Nordic Strap: https://amzn.to/4jQdewi Website: https://www.moversodyssey.com Medical Disclaimer: https://www.moversodyssey.com/medical-disclaimer https://www.instagram.com/movers_odyssey/ There are hundreds of well-known core and abdominal exercises and thousands more if you really go digging for them. This often leads to some confusion about the best way to train the abs in a wholistic and functional manner, especially if you're also looking for aesthetic improvement. In this video we go over what are the basic requirements for a functional, well shaped and aesthetic core and then give the mover's odyssey opinion of what the best single workout to hit these requirements is. This exercise (the ab rollout and its variations) is a classic ab exercise that is easy to learn, cheap to perform (you only need an ab wheel or suspension trainer like gymnastic rings) and if performed and progressed properly, can reap rewards for a lifetime. This exercise can target not only the upper and lower abdominals, but also the obliques, the serratus anterior and the transverse abdominis (the only muscle that can truly shrink the waist line ). #abworkout #abs #absworkout #coreworkout #obliques #transverseabdominis #abwheel #waistworkout

Man Makers are a type of exercise that could be considered in the same category as burpees. Man makers are great for fat loss and hypertrophy, making them a great option for physique transformation and an legitimate alternative to burpees. #burpees #kettlebellworkout #fatloss

Mike Tyson Push Up Video: https://youtu.be/gcWqt3V92MA https://www.moversodyssey.com Doorway Pull up Bar from Amazon: https://amzn.to/4dZe2e4 https://www.instagram.com/movers_odyssey/ Pull ups are considered a vertical pulling exercise, largely targeting latissimus muscles and biceps. However, there is one variation of pull ups that is not only a vertical pull, but also a horizontal pull, much like rows. This pull up, known as the Gironda pull up, targets not only the lats and biceps, but also the muscles of the upper back. It also employs the active arch hang position which is so healthy for the shoulders and great for scapular control and shoulder mobility. This is especially healing for the slouching shoulder posture. #pullups #pullupworkout #calisthenics #calisthenicsworkout #calisthenicsvsbodybulding #backworkout

Shallow Squatting bar reach example: https://youtube.com/shorts/JRq5WKhkFwY?si=NazVepF11LuQIUdO Deep Bar Reach Example: https://youtube.com/shorts/7mNozmxGD70?si=Wju8Jv2ycTthaKcI https://www.moversodyssey.com https://www.instagram.com/movers_odyssey/ The squatting bar reach is a mobility drill often utilized to help restore squat mobility, improve posture and stretch the glutes and back. A bonus is that this helps to correct a postural issue that shows up as a bulging lower abdomen. This mobility drill is simple and can be added to an existing warm up routine to great effect.

https://www.moversodyssey.com https://www.instagram.com/movers_odyssey/ The brain dictates what percentage of muscle fibers can be used at will. This is a protective mechanism to ensure that the joints are not damaged by utilizing too much strength at once. Muscle spindles and golgi tendon organs supply the brain with the sensor data that allow it to determine what level of strength is appropriate for each situation. Stories of hysterical strength in which mothers lift cars off their children are examples of these protective mechanisms being overridden, allowing the body temporary full access to the individuals strength capacity. In this video, 4 different methods of increasing the conscious activation of muscle fibers (motor unit recruitment) are investigated.
