Tall-Kneeling Neck CARs
Joint Focus: NECK

2m 30s
This lesson video covers Tall-Kneeling Neck CARs - a neck CARs variation designed to build controlled cervical movement through flexion, extension, and smooth rotation, without borrowing motion from the shoulders, ribs, or thoracic spine. In this version we add a simple constraint: squeezing a block between the thighs to create full-body tension and reduce common compensations. The result is cleaner neck motion, better awareness, and more honest range you can actually control.

Collapsed Kneeling Spine Segmentation
This video covers Collapsed Kneeling Spine Segmentation - a drill built to teach segment-by-segment control of the spine through deep flexion and extension. The purpose is to improve spinal awareness, reduce “blocky” movement, and expose hinge points where one area does all the work while the res...
