Pilates neck and shoulder exercises
Take control of your neck and shoulder tensions
How can wrists, forearms, upper arms, and neck help heal your shoulder injury? Well, they are The Link System to the shoulders.
If you have a neck or shoulder problem, as I did for two years, you can probably relate to how nagging it can be and how long it takes to regain normal function. And the most challenging part that you will face with shoulder pain is that you cannot rest it or avoid using it. On the one hand, if you don’t move your shoulder, it may turn into a frozen shoulder. On the other hand, any action you do daily like turning your head, looking down when you teach, gardening, putting on your seat belt, all these actions involve neck and shoulder. It’s a Catch 22 situation.
Mr. Genius knew that directly targeting the shoulders could be counterproductive, so he invented an instrument to access the Link System to the shoulder.

So you need to approach the shoulder rehabilitation carefully; enter the Pilates bean bags – another invention of Joseph Pilates. Mr. Genius knew that directly targeting the shoulders could be counterproductive, so he invented an instrument to access the Link System to the shoulder.
The Pilates bean bag is a small bag of beans (you can also use sands) attached to a dowel by a rope. You can use a dowel or wooden stick for today’s video to get started. Once you’re ready to add resistance, you can make your own Pilates bean bags.
We’re going to cover:
- How to strengthen your wrist with The Bean bag. This exercise is great if you have weak wrists and forearms.
- How to do the correct upper body curl for more muscular neck and upper abs
- How to use your grip the right way to open the chest and strengthen the back of the shoulders
Then we will apply these techniques with a few cues to get the most out of the fundamental Pilates exercises (level 1 ). From The Hundreds exercise to the pushups, these cues might help you with other movements with the same technique.
Once you have had a chance to try today’s video, let me know which part of your muscles you felt working.
