Got lower back pain? Got rotator joint pain? I started doing this years ago and it works.

The dead hang might be the simplest fix for your shoulders and lower back.

Hang from a bar for 30-60 seconds. That’s it.

What happens? Your shoulder joints decompress and restore natural spacing. The scapula resets to proper position. Your spine lengthens under traction, releasing compressed discs in the lower back.

Modern life keeps us hunched forward. The dead hang does the opposite. It opens your chest, externally rotates your shoulders, and lets gravity work for you instead of against you.

Start with Progressive loading. 10-20 seconds. Build to 2+ minutes over weeks. Do it daily.

Your CNS also recalibrates. Hanging activates reflexive grip strength and full body tension patterns we’ve lost sitting all day.

Ancient movement pattern. Zero equipment needed. Maximum return.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
