Overview
In this lesson, we explore passive range holds for spine rotation, using sustained positioning to expand rotational capacity.
Objective
Understand how long-duration holds in rotation can gradually increase your twisting range.
What You'll Get
What You'll Get: You'll learn to settle into rotated positions and stay there, giving your tissues and nervous system time to adapt. This is particularly useful for dense, stubborn areas that don't respond quickly to shorter stretches. For your practice, it means accessing rotation that feels out of reach in typical twist holds. For professionals, passive range holds offer a gentle, time-based approach for clients with significant rotational restrictions, letting adaptation happen at a pace the body can tolerate.
