Session 4: The Spiral Line
This is such a fun one, notice how the ribbon crosses behind the back of the ribs to wrap around the front of the torso and reach the hips. Look familiar? What if we changed the color?
The iconic pink ribbon is a great visualization for the connection of the shoulders to the core, often cued as scapular stabilization
