Mobility Ball Series, Part 2: UPPER THORACIC MOB

MOBILITY BALL SERIES

PART TWO: UPPER THORACIC MOB

Benefits?

This exercise will help reduce headaches, upper neck tension, prevents hunched forward posture, improves head and neck posture, and increases upper and mid back muscle performance.

STEP ONE

Using a peanut mobility ball (two balls joined together, details below), place the balls below the neck with the gap on your spine. Lay back with firm pressure into rhomboids and mid trap for pressure point release.

STEP TWO

To progress mob, perform chin tucks to stretch the muscles vertically on the ball.

STEP THREE

Roll side to side to stretch muscles horizontally on the ball.

How long?

Perform each movement for at least 30 seconds. Move the ball down your thoracic spine and repeat!

What to use?

I personally use a Rad Roller, which is displayed in the videos. However, it's very easy to DIY yourself your own. Take two tennis balls or lacross balls and duck tape them together like so.
