@movemeduk: Hip Hinge Meets Shoulder Pendulum This one looks simple. It isn’t. By combining a rotated pelvic hinge with a shoulder pendulum, we’re creating a movement environment your nervous system rarely sees and that’s exactly why it works. 1️⃣ Pelvic Twist + Hinge Standing with one foot raised, you’re pulling your pubic bone back to centre under your shoulders. This creates a subtle 6D pelvic twist, forcing each hip to fire at slightly different angles. Now hinge at the hips with a straight spine and suddenly the posterior chain has to adapt in real time. 2️⃣ Shoulder Pendulum Holding a light object, swing your arm gently in a pendulum. This isn’t about load, it’s about mobility and sequencing. The shoulder joint, scapular stabilisers and thoracolumbar fascia all work together to create controlled rhythm. 3️⃣ Why This Matters Most of us only hinge in straight lines. Most of us only train shoulders in isolation. This drill links the two, reminding your body that movement is one chain, not separate parts. 4️⃣ Stubborn Shoulders Clicky rotator cuff? Niggles in overhead positions? This is a safe way to explore shoulder mobility while the pelvis and spine provide new sensory input. Always start light, stay controlled and check with your practitioner first. 5️⃣ NRE: Neural Re-Education New movement environments = new brain maps. This is clinical neuroplasticity in practice. Try alternating sides for both the block and the pendulum. Use it as a movement snack or warm-up. Don’t chase reps - chase control.
