Midback Pain Relief

MID-BACK PAIN RELIEF. ⠀
.⠀
Work today can be a real pain in the back, especially for desk workers. The thoracic spine was meant to move, and if it's locked in a seated position for too long it can lead to many issues:⠀
.⠀
shoulders rounding forward, causing less range of motion.⠀
brachial plexus nerve impingement, causing tingling in the hands.⠀
round (or hunchback) appearance of the upper back⠀
forward head posture causing strained muscles and ligaments⠀
tension headaches⠀
PAIN, STIFFNESS, TIGHTNESS, and a CRAPPY MOOD ⠀
.⠀
So here's a quick thoracic mobility stretch that can be done anywhere, at home or work. Give it a try!⠀
.⠀
HOW TO IMPROVE T-SPINE MOBILITY:⠀
Arms up on a wall.⠀
Tilt hips back.⠀
Lower chest towards the floor.⠀
Move one arm slowly across the body.⠀
Go as far as possible while trying to move only the mid-back, NOT the lower back.⠀
Go back to starting position, then repeat on other side.⠀
