Have you ever complained about a "knot" in your back that won't go away?
While releasing the area with a foam roller and/or
massage ball can be effective, it is also important to
mobilize the thoracic spine along with the ribs. This will
help promote more movement in the joints and help
decrease overall muscular tension in the back
THORACIC SPRINKLERS:
Sit on a chair or bench with the feet wider than shoulder
width apart. Place one in front of you and against the wall
with the opposite hand behind the neck. Rotate the body
away from the wall as far as possible and repeat.
2 THORACIC EXTENSIONS:
Place your hands shoulder width apart on a barbell or
wall. Walk your feet back as far as possible and round
your lower back (contract your glutes). Drop the chest as
far down as possible towards the ground.
3 WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Start by kneeling beside the wall with the hands on the
ground. Sit your hips backwards so that the buttocks
touch the heels. Draw a large circle with the arm against
the wall and repeat.
