A 10-minute foam rolling series for the upper body. Let's foam roll you to better posture.
This routine is a MUST for anyone who sits for prolonged amounts of time, throughout the day.
Whether it's in front of a computer, commuting to and from work, or if you drive for your job you need to work on getting movement back to your upper body, your thoracic spine.
Tightness in this area can lead to shoulder and neck pain, which are pains to live with and can be workout buzzkills.
And... if you want to work your posture, or if you already have some discomfort in the shoulders or neck, this little 10-minute workout is a gem for you as well.
I made this series quick, so you can easily implement it into your day, and also added two of my favourite mobility drills to warm up the upper back at the beginning.
Have fun!
