Spiral line

The Spiral Line

The Spiral Line is a key role in balance and stability and assist in maintaining balance across all planes of motion.

The spiral lines group together some muscles and fascial structures that are already listed in other lines. Let’s start from the top and work our way down to list what muscles the line passes .. as this represents the ‘top to bottom ‘spiral movement.

It passes through muscles including the:

Splenius Capitis/Cervicis (one of the deep (or intrinsic) muscles of the cervical and thoracic spine)
Rhomboid Minor/Major
Serratus Anterior
Spine Extensors and Rotators
External/Internal Obliques
Thoracolumbar Fascia
Tensor Fasciae Latae
Biceps Femoris
Tibialis Anterior (is a muscle of the anterior compartment of the lower leg)
Fibularis Longus (is a muscle in the lateral part of the leg)

To stretch the spiral line, think about all the movements and poses that you can get into to stretch the muscles listed and gently move in and out of them, using flow, breath and grounding.

You can play with many stretch poses to enhance a fascia stretch. Here are a few examples:

The line starts at the back of the head on one side and ends on the back of the head on the other side.
