Tai chi and surfing 🤔🏄‍♂️

I had a whole load of neck and shoulder issues from years of computers and desk jobs

Initially the surfing didn’t help much , it mainly aggravated the tension in my neck.

I then had a couple of years out to focus on martial arts and particularly tai chi with an emphasis on stretching and releasing all of the muscle and soft tissue in my upper body that was so tight that my mobility was very much reduced and posture kinda uneven too.

Anyway 2 years later and I started to venture back into the water and noticed that my upper body range of motion had returned, my pop up felt much easier and I was about 80% pain free for the most part.

It’s an ongoing project actually releasing the neck and shoulders in tai chi. But well worth the daily work because it benefits all areas of one’s life.

😎🙏

I’ve been doing Tai Ji for a while now, and recently tried surfing for the first time. I spent most of my time falling, but definitely could get hooked on the sport. Surfing and Tai Ji have a lot of similarities but skill in one doesn’t translate to the other, skiing on the other hand is something where Tai Ji skills port over instantly. Hope to surf more one day…
