Spencer begins by showing you how to stretch a modified cat and cow while sitting. This can be a life saver if your muscles are very tired. Then, he will pull you gently over your head to stretch your upper trapezius muscle, which can relieve tight shoulders and reduce neck pain.
Next, Spencer asks you to cross your legs and stretch some buttocks and periformis. The piriformis is a small muscle in your left that runs along the largest nerves in your lower body. When this muscle is irritated, swollen, tense or sore, it can put pressure on these large nerves. This often happens when you sit for a while — so this stretching work will come in handy when trying to prevent or ease any pain.
