Episode 9: The Spine Part 2

In this episode we continue with the spine and look at the facet joints. The facet joints are where movement occurs in the spine. We look at how the orientation of the facet joints changes as we move from cervical to thoracic to the lumbar spine. We look at how the individual vertebrae slide and glide on top of each other and get a sense of how the vertebra move in flexion, side bending and rotation. We bring our new facet imagery into the spine dance and band exercises for the spine. Lastly, we notice the positive changes we feel in the spine after this movement practice.  We encourage you to bring the imagery of facet movement into your daily life and exercise practice. Enjoy the episode!
