KB Arm Bar w/Axial Rotations

1. 1Set up in the standard KB arm bar position with the KB guiding the shoulder into external rotation, then add slow axial rotations by rotating your head and trunk in both directions to explore thoracic and cervical mobility while the shoulder is held in the stretched position. This combines the shoulder opening of the arm bar with active thoracic rotation, amplifying the overall mobility stimulus. Breathe steadily, pausing at end-range rotation on each side. Avoid rushing the rotations or losing shoulder position — keep the KB arm locked out and feel the combined opening through the shoulder and thoracic spine simultaneously.
