The KEY to Good Neck Posture

Most of us have heard of forward head posture. And most of us have tried "neck stretches" to reduce our pain to no avail, or with only short term relief. The missing key for a lot of us is likely THORACIC SPINE MOBILITY.

Ensuring full t-spine extension mobility allows us to maintain neutral cervical (neck) posture with far less effort.

💥Sure, the research may be inconclusive on the relationship between posture and pain, but you try sitting like this all day and tell me how you feel!

The reality we find is that pain is correlated to extremes of forward head posture, especially when subjected to this position for prolonged periods of time over many years. If we become so immobile that we can't access the mobility needed for daily or athletic activities, then our posture can become a BIG problem.

Try these movements to restore your thoracic spine mobility, and leave your neck feeling happy 😄

0:02 - 1️⃣Pectoral stretch on wall

0:16 - 2️⃣ Thoracic spine foam rolling combo:
A. Paraspinal release
B. T-spine extension mobilization

0:38 - 3️⃣ Latissimus Dorsi Stretch/ Tspine Mobilization
*bias hands wider than elbows for lats, hands narrower than elbows for t-spine

1:00 - 4️⃣ Front Squat/ Goblet Squat
*the key is the load is in front to isometrically load the thoracic paraspinals. Front squats with a barbell in the rack position are great too!
