There are many expressions or verbal cues used to convey the mobility of the spine. Whenever you hear "articulate the spine" or " roll the spine vertibra by vertibra", your goal is to work through each part of the spine, mobilising and seperating each vertibra.
As you roll and un-roll the spine, you may feel sections that resist mobilty. Now these spots are the areas that you need to linger and breath into, to increase the opening of the area. Whether you are rolling up or rolling down, you must concentrate on actively creating a "C" shape of the spine to increase mobility and strength.
" If you feel stiff in the spine at 30 you are old, if you feel flexible in the spine at 60 you are young" Joseph H Pilates
