(VIDEO) ▶️ Upper thoracic extension dissociation

An exercise working on dissociating upper thoracic extension from lower thoracic extension.

• sitting upright with your shoulders relaxed
• rest one hand on your sternum with the other hand on the front of the lower ribcage
• focus on extending your upper thorax without using your lower thorax or lumbar spine (ie: no movement in the bottom hand and no arching of the low back)
• return to the start position
• repeat as needed
