The Trunk

The Trunk for us encompasses everything from your neck to your hips / pelvis so here you will find our top picks for maintaining broadly your "trunk". 

In this series:

• Diaphragm Release
• Quadratus Lumborum and Paraspinals
• Paraspinals only

If you find yourself in a job that has you sitting at a desk, these stretches will do wonders for your posture! As you collapse inwards your anterior chain of the trunk becomes contracted and weak. Try these simple top picks and let us know your thoughts!

In this series:

• Crucifix 
• Cobra
• Child's Pose
• Rhomboids

Here in our activations you'll see:

• Diaphragm activation. Proper activation of the diaphragm is vital particularly as it is the primary muscle for respiration. 
• Something fun: the heart is directly affected by the diaphragm through it's central tendon by ligaments. the heart literally rides up and down on the diaphragm as you breathe! So, breathing can massage your heart!

• Also here, see our Deadbug core activation drill!
