Thoracic Foam Rolling Drill
A thoracic foam rolling drill opens the upper back with supported extensions over the roller—brief pre-overhead work, lumbar spine left out.
A thoracic foam rolling drill places the roller across the upper back, hands supporting the head, and extends over the roller in small segments—avoiding the lower lumbar spine. Two to three minutes pre-bench or overhead day can improve extension feel without forcing crack sounds.
Keep ribs down and exhale into each pass.
Common questions
-
Is it normal for the back to click during thoracic rolling?
Occasional cavitation can happen—do not chase clicks. Stop if pain is sharp, radiating, or centered in the low back rather than mid-thoracic stiffness.
