@dr.smileykylie: Replying to @Callmeburnsy 1️⃣ Y raise holds: These help build strength in the lower traps which can help pull the shoulders down & take tension off of the upper traps! 2️⃣ Prone goalpost liftoff holds: These teach us to keep our shoulder blades down / in & avoid compensating by shrugging up with the upper traps! We get some nice activation of the middle & lower traps & the shoulder external rotators on this one to really help take tension off of the upper traps who like to do the work of these typically weaker muscles! 3️⃣ Prone Y raise holds: We’re truly starting to work against gravity here to really start building strength in these muscles + there is an added proprioceptive challenge here as we focus on avoiding hyperextension & controlling our position / maintaining the Y position without help from our eyes! Note: On movements 2️⃣&3️⃣ I have a rolled up hand towel underneath my forehead to keep my neck neutral & for comfort! #hypermobility #hypermobileehlersdanlossyndrome #connectivetissuedisorder #hEDS #coathangerpain
