Flexibility exercise

Thoracic Extension (Foam Roller)

How to do it

Lie on your back with the foam roller placed horizontally beneath your shoulder blades.
Bend your knees, plant your feet flat on the floor, and interlace your fingers behind your head for support.
Keep your hips on the ground and slowly arch your upper back over the roller, extending through the thoracic spine.
Lower back down under control until your shoulders return to the floor, working the muscles of the back through the full range.
Move at a slow, steady tempo, inhaling as you extend back and exhaling as you return to the start.
Keep your hips grounded throughout rather than letting the lower back arch to complete the range.
