MID THORACIC MOBILIZATION INHALE INTO ROLLER EXHALE REACH BACK INHALE & REPEAT

Original caption

Your neck shouldn’t have to do all the work. 👀 Try this simple thoracic mobility drill to open up your upper back and create better movement through your rib cage. 🔥 🧘‍♀️ How to do it: 1️⃣ Place the foam roller across your upper back. 2️⃣ Support your head with your hands to avoid pulling on your neck. 3️⃣ Inhale down and back—expand through your back ribs. 🫁 4️⃣ Exhale slowly as you gently sink into the roller and extend your upper back. 5️⃣ Roll slightly, reset, and repeat. The goal isn’t to crank your lower back into a huge arch. 🚫 We want movement through the mid and upper back so your rib cage can move better, your shoulders have a stronger foundation, and your lower back doesn’t have to compensate for everything. 💪 Breathe. Move. Control. Repeat. Your mobility work can be simple—but intentional movement makes a BIG difference. ✨ #ThoracicMobility #MobilityTraining #CoreTips #CoreWorkout #RibCageMobility
