Thoracic Extension with Foam Roller | Improve Upper Back Mobility

Описание: Feeling stiff through your upper back? Struggling with posture, overhead movement, or rotation?
This Thoracic Extension with Foam Roller mobility drill helps restore extension in the upper spine, improve posture, and reduce stiffness caused by sitting, lifting, or daily stress.

This movement is a key piece of the PEAK FUNCTIONAL method for improving spinal mobility, posture, and pain-free movement.

⸻

🔥 How to Perform (Step-by-Step)

1️⃣ Sit on the floor with a foam roller placed across your mid–upper back.
2️⃣ Bend your knees and keep your feet flat on the floor.
3️⃣ Support your head and neck with your hands.
4️⃣ Gently extend your upper back over the roller while keeping your ribs down.
5️⃣ Return to neutral and repeat in a controlled manner.
6️⃣ Perform 6–10 slow reps, focusing on smooth movement and breathing.
⚠️ Avoid excessive arching from the lower back — movement should come from the thoracic spine.
