Improve thoracic spine flexibility: 2 movements!

In modern life, most people can easily have poor thoracic spine mobility due to daily habits and postures (such as sitting for a long time, using a computer, playing cards, playing mobile phones, etc.).

The thoracic spine with insufficient mobility causes your body to be bad, the thoracic spine is too flexed, and the hunchback "C" posture

Not only does it look quite embarrassing from the outside, but also the hunchback and chest holding will affect your life and training, hunchback, and thoracic spine life Insufficient mobility will increase the risk of damage to the shoulder joint, cervical vertebra and lumbar vertebra

Today I will introduce to you a simple and practical method to help you improve the condition of the thoracic spine!

1. Use a foam roller to stretch the thoracic spine

Lying on the mat with your knees bent and folding it at about 90 degrees. As for the upper back of the foam roller!

Hold your head with both hands and use the leg drive to pull the roller up and down! Feel the thoracic spine slowly stretching

Gently rolling the entire lower back up and back 20-30 seconds.

Keep your body stable while rolling.

Change movements: Stay at a certain part of the thoracic spine flexion and extension!

2. Use peanut balls or tennis balls to stretch the thoracic spine

Toracic Spine) produces force to stimulate the thoracic spine to stretch (Extension).

If there is no peanut ball, you can tightly wrap the two tennis balls with tape or rope. The depression of the two balls just allows our spine to be placed inside, avoiding direct pressure on the bones. It can stretch our thoracic vertebra and relax the muscles next to the spine.

Lying on your back, place the tennis balls on both sides of the spine, bend your knees, and support your head with a pillow, slowly press your lower back flat on the ground.

Move from bottom to top, 5 times/each vertebrae, gradually move up along the neck. If you find a tight point, you can place it in a fixed point for pressing, or perform spinal flexion and extension!
