Join physiotherapist and Pilates teacher, Louise Tallis, as she looks at how we can help mobilise a stiff kyphosis in our clients.
Rather than solely focusing on extension of the thoracic spine, Louise adopts a holistic approach to mobilising the spine, addressing the different elements of a stiff kyphosis throughout a Pilates class so as to maximise release and movement in this area.
