The middle back (thoracic spine) is an area that requires an adequate amount of movement and mobility. Stiffness in this area can cause different segments of the spine (neck and lower back) to over compensate for simple task such as bending forward, checking your blind spot while driving and overhead movements. Improving the mobility in the thoracic spine is a great way to alleviate stiffness in your middle back! 1️⃣ Foam Roller Roll Outs: ➡️ Start on the ground with forearms on foam roller ➡️ Sit back on heels while pressing the foam roller forward ➡️ Round the lower back to help isolate the thoracic spine 2️⃣ Thoracic Rotations: ➡️ Start in same position as above without foam roller ➡️ Place one elbow in between both knees ➡️ Place opposite hand behind neck and lift elbow towards ceiling 3️⃣ Supine Thoracic Release: ➡️ Position middle back on a peanut (two lacrosse balls in a sock) ➡️ Perform a glute bridge to place pressure onto back ➡️ Lift both arms overhead while keeping rib cage pulled downwards . 🚨 LEAVE A LIKE AND TAG A FRIEND WITH MIDDLE BACK STIFFNESS! 🚨 . #LuStrengthTherapy #BackPain #MobilityWOD #StrengthAndConditioning #StrengthCoach #StrengthAndConditioningCoach #MobilityTraining https://www.instagram.com/p/BxGlHcAhlep/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ktngf79x5a02
