THE MOTORCYCLE BACK THERAPY INTERVENTION

Science is a wonderful thing! It is often hard for me to understand how people are able to study and learn so much about our physical world and about our own bodies. Since I am a rather dull person who barely made it through kindergarten, I am always impressed with the smarts of others. Recently I became interested in back therapy interventions. As I am prone to do, I was consumed by the subject; reading, researching and studying for countless minutes. Here is the Nobody's take on how motorcycling fits into back fitness. First it is important to understand the Alexander Back Techniques. A good place to get started on this study is: http://markjosefsberg.com/alexander-technique/alexander-technique-posture-exercises

Then you need to learn about the three different motorcycle rider positions. As each requires a different application of the Alexander method to your motorcycle exercises.

A good place to start is here:

After becoming well versed in the Alexander method and understanding the various aspects of motorcycle rider posture. You are ready to apply my motorcycle back therapy interventions while riding. I suggest you start with a 25 mile ride and over a two week period work up to a 1,000 mile ride.

The Interventions

1. Loose Head: using the Alexander hinge flex with motorcycle posture 3 and 7

2. Loose Lungs: using the Alexander rib rise with motorcycle posture 1

3. Free Heart: using the Alexander chest sculpt with motorcycle posture 4

4. Jello Abs: using the Alexander valley breathing with motorcycle posture 5 and 6

5. Swivel Hips using the Alexander gate swing with motorcycle posture 2

6. Twinkle Toes using the Alexander star rise with motorcycle posture 3

You will be amazed at the improvement in your back health and your ability to ride hundreds of miles without stopping. If you have any questions just email me.
