Thoracic Extension on a Foam Roller

It is very common for the hands to feel tingling, this sensation should dissipate as you get use to this exercise

Focus:

  • Allow arms to hang in a relaxed “field goal” position

  • Find a position where you can be totally relaxed. When you are moving or your muscles are tense due to an uncomfortable position, you are unable to get the most out of this exercise

Suggested Frequency:

Hold for 60-90 seconds, 1-2 times a day

Who should perform this?

Individuals who suffer from tension or “stiffness” in the mid and upper back, rolled forward shoulders and other shoulder related injuries
