Today we're focusing on thoracic mobility. Why is thoracic mobility important? Our lumbar spine (which sits just below the thoracic spine) stabilizes the spine and transmits force between the upper and lower limbs.

Here are some exercises to improve thoracic mobility:... 1 Child's Pose and Thoracic Reach Through 2 Thoracic Cat/Cow 3 Kneeling Thoracic CARs 4 Prone Thoracic Extension Try these out and start improving the quality of your movement!
