You can see at the beginning this was not easy! The spine moved a great deal, nor was the movement fluid or well controlled.

If you recognise this student, she was featured before when I talked about scapula winging.  These scapular rotations were part of the therapy to help her overcome this.  

Control and awareness of movement is everything.  As Professor Stuart McGill says, "the distinguishing quality of athletes IS control'.  Think about that.  It's not because they are stronger or more flexible than us; they, above all else, exhibit more control over their bodies.

So typically, when it comes to movement therapy for physical conditions or to improve function, this is where you should start.  Simple movements that require precise control.  This can help reestablish the mind-body connection.  More complex movements can come later.  As I heard the well-known student of Krishnamacharya, A.G Mohan, once say, 'why do you want to stand on your head when you have not yet learnt to stand on 2 feet? 🦶🦶 😁
