Upper crossed syndrome part 5: ways to start addressing this

❌ These will by no means fix the issue, but this will begin to address some of the restrictions that are commonly present in upper crossed syndrome ❌ In this upper left corner is a banded exercise to actively extend the thoracic spine and also use some of the key muscles that need to be fired up more ❌ The lower left is a thoracic spine foam rolling mobilization. Going in and out actively, working on extending your mid back and upper back over the roller without extending at the low back is key. Do this daily and work on opening day the mid upper back up ❌ Finally the right picture is a pec release with a lacrosse ball. The corner of a wall works well, and it’s just about getting into a good position with the ball and releasing the upper pec (pec minor for the most part). Spend a few minutes on this, and the tenderness will start disappearing over time ❌ This is a good start, but other issues specific to the individual must be assessed and addressed ------------------------
