Simple Movements for a Tight Back (2 min)

Carol Beringer's Amazing Movement Podcast | Season 2, Ep. 6: Studio Exercises - Simple Movements for a Tight Back (2 min) Wrapping back? Cooking back? We all get tight, especially during busy seasons! Carol shares two simple movements that take just minutes but deliver serious relief. These are perfect for your morning routine or anytime your back needs attention. The Butterfly Slide mobilizes your hip socket while engaging the back of your body (not the overworked front!), and the combination move adds upper body release. The key? Keep contact with the floor to work the right muscles. Carol's "seven for good luck" approach (based on six-second muscle memory) makes these easy to remember and integrate into daily life. Brief, effective, and exactly what your tight back needs. These magical movement moments fit into even the most pressure-prompted days.
