Mobilize Your Mid-Back

Oct 12

Although it's talked about as having 3 distinct sections,

your spine is actually a cohesive unit: tension in the low back creates tension in your neck; freedom in your mid-back affords ease in your low back.

Your mid-back, often called the "thoracic spine area" is the least mobile part of your spine. The vertebrae in this area attach to your ribs to house precious, life-giving organs. However, immobility, stiffness and imbalanced posture (hello, I sit in a weird chair all day) contributes to overall dysfunction and discomfort in your back.

This twisted child's pose pictured above, is a GREAT pose for mobilizing your mid-back.
