Shoulder Workshop

Shoulder Workshop - Tuesday, March 4th at 6:30pm

Our shoulder rehab/prehab/mobility/stability/activation seminar will be Tuesday, March 4th from 6:30 to 8:30pm at our 13th Ave gym!

If you have trouble kicking up into a handstand without using your head, your chin up or pull up is not improving, or you display poor ROM with pain, then this is for you! We will work on activation and stabilization for the scapular region. We will also discuss pain management and anti-inflammatory protocols. I will also give you movement drills that you can do at home. 

This workshop is free to all Flux members! Please register for the workshop by signing up on the MindBody calendar.

Bring a pen and paper and wear your training gear.

I look forward to seeing many of you there!
