Thoracic Drills for Better Overhead Squats

Thoracic spine function is critical for successful execution of all overhead squatting movements. But the commonly used mobility techniques are often too short and intense to allow for gradual releases and changes in the thoracic portion of the spine.

Try this sequence of corrective exercises to improve mobility and function of the thoracic back. If you do this sequence daily, you can expect to see gradual improvements in your overhead squat.

Damn, this is just brilliant. 3-6 min, low stress, gives your body a chance to "accept" the improved range of motion. Do you know any good people in Chicago?! My hips are so locked up even though I'm working on them 30 min a day and seeing a rolfer.
