Global shear is a technique described in the ‘Treat While You Train’ program. I love its intent and find this is a great abdominal release using a soft and squishy therapy ball. Use a pilates, bender or coregeous ball.

For stubborn shoulder issues, give this a try—but always listen to your body. If you have hypermobility, adjust movements to avoid instability.
Everything we do is either building us up or breaking us down. Foundation Training is a series of exercises designed to improve posture and movement patterns strengthening your core and helping prevent injuries and improve performance. These exercises don't require any special equipment and can be done anywhere at any time making them a valuable adjunct to your chiropractic care.
