This hybrid exercise—part side-lying thoracic windmill, part lateral flexion—unlocks a plane of movement most training neglects. The BOSU assists proper lateral thoracic flexion while the weight challenges your core in a completely different way. Precise positioning creates both mobility and strength where you need it most. Side-to-side doesn't get enough attention. Your spine will thank you. #MobilityFirst #360Core #FunctionalMovementRetry | Strength and Motion Academy

Follow the movement with your head. Conti

The modified side-lying position isn’t just for the QL — it’s one of the best full-body working positions in manual therapy. By shifting the client from prone into this pseudo–side-lying setup, you instantly create space: ⭐️The rib cage lifts off the pelvis, giving clean access to the QL, obliques, intercostals, and diaphragm attachments. ⭐️The lateral hip opens, exposing the glute med, TFL, IT band, and deep rotators without compressing the lumbar spine. ⭐️The shoulder girdle relaxes forward, g

OVERHEAD OPENER. A great exercise to work on thoracic spine extension and shoulder flexion prior to overhead lifting. While it looks like a passive stretch, I try to pull myself further into the stretch every rep. I will also usually follow this up with some type of loaded movement. #CrossFit #mobility #fitness #weightlifting #functionalmovement #charlottefitness #thebarbellphysio #BulletProofMobility #cltcrossfit | The Barbell Physio

Mommas, if your thoracic spine (mid-back) is stiff, you’re missing a big piece of the puzzle when it comes to healing your core and pelvic floor. 👉🏼 Your ribcage attaches directly to your thoracic spine, and together they control how your ribs expand and move when you breathe. If your mid-back is locked up, you can’t get true 360° rib expansion on your inhale. That means: 🚫Your diaphragm can’t fully descend. 🚫Your deep core can’t respond effectively. 🚫Your pelvic floor stays tight or undera

✨DESK JOB TERRORS✨ The round upper back look (aka - increased thoracic kyphosis) typically happens from lazy sitting 😯. When we allow the tailbone to tuck under us, the back ends up rounding and the shoulders shift forward. This forward shift of the shoulders is essential when addressing the upper back. We can't expect to open that upper back without addressing the tightness from the front of the chest as well. 🎥 1: THORACIC EXTENSION Here, I'm using a short foam roll to align along my spine t
