Thoracic Spine Mobility
Thoracic spine mobility restores upper-back rotation and extension for overhead lifts and posture. Brief daily drills beat rare long mobility marathons.
Thoracic spine mobility is rotation and extension through the upper back—open books, cat-cow segments, and foam roller extensions—that frees shoulder overhead paths and reduces neck hitch during desk work. Stiff thoracic regions often follow long sitting.
Five minutes daily beats one long monthly session.
Common questions
-
Can thoracic mobility fix shoulder pain?
It helps when stiffness limits overhead motion, but sharp pain needs assessment. Combine mobility with scapular control and gradual loading.
