Standing Neck CARs
Joint Focus: NECK

2m 56s
This lesson video covers Standing Neck CARs - a simple, accessible variation designed to teach controlled movement of the cervical spine without borrowing motion from the shoulders, ribs, or thoracic spine. The focus is slow, intentional control through flexion, extension, and smooth rotational movement, exploring your available range while minimizing compensations. Use this as a daily reset for posture, desk stiffness, and better neck awareness, or as part of your warm-up to keep the neck moving well over time.

Sphinx Neck CARs
This lesson video covers Sphinx Neck CARs - a neck CARs variation that biases full spinal extension and encourages you to find maximal safe cervical extension while you rotate. The goal stays the same: explore your neck’s available range with slow, controlled movement, while actively eliminating...

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...

Tall Kneeling Spine CARs
This video covers Tall Kneeling Spine CARs - a drill designed to build controlled articular rotation of the spine with minimal compensation. The purpose is to improve spinal awareness, segmental control, and usable range through slow flexion/extension and rotation patterns, while keeping the move...
