Upper-Body & Posture Mobility

Combines static chest/shoulder holds with active thoracic mobility. Grade inherited as B from the shoulder governing block. Think 'move better and feel less stiff,' not a fix that permanently changes posture.

Grade inherited from the evidence blocks this routine implements. Duration is a starting point (do more or less); the app just tells you where you land against the evidence-based dose.
