Okay, so moving forward then those of you that have just done it the series of shoulder raise up, congratulations well done for doing those sequences of exercises there. Now we're going to look a little bit more at this kind of shoulder rounded for positioning, which is so many others, especially as far as this mid back pain is concerned, you can see when I do this, how it rounds in through here, when I round the shoulders forward, so not a surprise that this component there right in the mid back, is where we start to feel a lot of the pain or the tissue has to tighten and clamp down to try and stop you from doing that. And if you hold it sedentary like that for a while, research has shown that the body starts to lay down denser layers of connective tissue. So I'm not making this up.
This is a lot more new science coming through. So It's great that you're on the cutting edge of this stuff if you're doing this program, congratulations. So the awareness component in this awareness exercise is starting to cue you in and how you might be doing that when you might be doing it. And start to increase your sensitivity just like what we started with the awareness component of shoulder raised up neuro adaptation, you don't realize you're doing it half the time. So if you can start to build awareness around what you're doing in this positioning, then you're already halfway there. 50% of the problem is awareness.
So if you can do that, you can start to interrupt what's going on with this rounding pattern. And then all the other exercises are going to fit in nicely with you as you do that, so enjoy the discovery process. The awareness exercise for rounded shoulders
