Overview
In this lesson, we introduce passive range holds for shoulder flexion, training your body to accept and stabilize your deepest overhead positions.
Objective
Understand how sustained end-range holds build tolerance and control in shoulder flexion, making your overhead mobility usable in movement.

What You'll Get: You'll practice settling into your fullest overhead range and holding it, allowing your nervous system to adapt and stop guarding. Passive range holds are the bridge between having mobility on paper and actually being able to use it in handstands, overhead lifts, or reaching movements. For professionals, this technique is essential for helping clients integrate new shoulder range and reduce the protective tension that limits their ability to move freely overhead.
