FIX YOUR HUNCHBACK POSTURE

Here’s a bonus upper thoracic extension drill for you guys. @mharden_dc ? came up with this one when she was developing a rehab plan for one of our patients who hunches over at their desk all day. This drill ties together cervical retraction and upper thoracic extension and really forces you to control your thoracic spine. It’s one of those ? bang for your buck ? exercises that helps with both neck and back pain. Put the ? ball under your chest and then take the neck straight back as you lift your chest about two to three inches off. Any further and you’re most likely cheating ? and pulling through the lower t-spine. Do this one to bias the cervicothoracic junction or once you’ve mastered the seated drill from yesterday. Tag a friend with neck or back pain and share the wealth!
