THORACIC FOAM ROLL

This is a self massage technique for your mid and upper back. Lean against a foam roller with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Hug your chest tightly and roll on the foam roller until you find a tender spot and hold. Slowly extend your spine over the foam roller while keeping your neck neutral. Do 3-5 slow repetitions per spot and roll up or down to find another location.
