Hunching over Ipads, mobile phones, computers and sitting at desks from such a young age could be our next generation’s most serious health danger. Postural changes that occur due to slumping, slouching and a forward “tech neck” position when the spine is still developing are enhanced and unfortunately could be set in place for life. Muscular compensation patterns may develop, setting up a recipe for pain and injuries later in life. Our tweens and teens are in need of a mobility practice just as much as they need cardiovascular and strength training, recovery and rest.
Mobility is the combination of flexibility, stability and motor control. Stick Mobility® - a revolutionary system developed in America - it is intended to help users increase their mobility, muscle activation, movement and range of motion. The stick is used in conjunction with exercises or movements that utilize the flexibility and strength of the stick to propel the body into peak fitness and performance.
Movement Vitality is the only yoga studio in Brisbane to offer weekly Stick Mobility® classes. We are expanding this offering to our tweens and teens (ages 9+) taught by our resident yogi and Stick Mobility® Coach Blake Vuksan. Blake was a high level junior soccer player who represented Australia on an international level and is currently studying chiropractic.
