To wrap up our series on the 1/2 Kneeling Windmill, I want to demonstrate some advanced techniques. In part 2, we discussed moving the foot position to challenge mobility (along with stability). In part 3, we are showing how we can use the same positions and techniques and change the dynamic of the movement by […]
1/2 Kneeling Windmill: Part 2
In Part 1 of our 3 part series on the 1/2 Kneeling Windmill, we discussed the basics of this great movement that challenges both mobility and stability. In Part 2, we see how we can challenge a more advanced athlete by modifying their foot position and stance. Explore this very versatile and powerful movement… Looking […]

Thoracic Spine Mobilization with KnotOut
The Thoracic Spine has been described as a movement “linchpin.” Meaning, it plays a huge role in just about every movement pattern in the body. When it breaks down, so does everything around it. According to the Joint-by-Joint approach by Boyle and Cook, if the Thoracic Spine is immobile, the lumbar spine will be forced […]
