Thoracic Spine Release

Flexibility and mobility are key to optimal body movement and swing mechanics. Creating and maintaining mobile joints and muscles allow for optimal muscle and joint movements, both in the gym, as well as on the course

Movement:

Using a duel point massager, or two small balls taped together, start on your back, with each ball on either side of the spine at the top of the shoulder blades. Support the head and work n thoracic extension over the balls, by extending from the ball area, not the lower back. followed by resting the heads on the ground and creating a “snow angle” effect with your arms to move the muscles around the ball. Work your way down to the bottom of the shoulder blades.

 

Notes: The goal is to find tight spots which could be uncomfortable at the start, roughly 60 seconds per muscle. Be sure to avoid boney areas and focus on muscular areas.
