Day 13 - 14-Day Happy Back Series.
Your thoracic spine (t-spine), is your mid-back and becomes immobile with age, poor posture and/or increased sitting. When the thoracic spine is immobile, the lumbar spine will, unfortunately, pick up the slack and compensate for the lack of movement in the thoracic spine. Meaning that quite often our low back pain has nothing to do with our low backs! It's due to our mid-backs.
In this series, you'll be guided through 4 mobility drills for the t-spine.
Tools: Mat, rolled towel or foam roller, yoga block, chair
