I can't say enough good things about this routine!!

It was such a good stretch for my thoracic that I definitely needed

Natasha

Hitting the muscles it needs to. Also great for long periods of office work!!!

Makes the work day tension more manageable. Highly recommend working through this one!

It’s amazing how awesome I feel after the daily routine. I’m excited to continue! I want to move my body freely and without any more pain! I’m hopeful!

2. Spine offset cat cow Lv1
3. Thoracic elbow to reach ups lv1

Probably my favorite beginner lateral line stretch!

Notes: 
- cross arm as far over as possible
- lean over to the side at a comfortable range of motion

Shoulder thoracic side bend Lv1

Great beginner version of the Offset Cat Cows 

Notes:
- focus on hand placement 
- knees bent to extended during the back movement to help facilitate the movement

Spine offset cat cow lv1

Thoracic elbow to reach ups

- always lead with the elbow and then reach up afterwards
- The movement here might remind you of doing the robot dance
- you can hold onto an elastic band to level this one up

Thoracic elbow to reach ups Lv1

Healthy spine mobility exercise

- Elbows rested on a bench or chair
- lower chest to the floor
- Feel this in the midback

Thoracic extension chair Lv1

Thoracic rotation hugs

- bend forward from the mid back
- rotate left and right to your tolerance

You can do the standing or sitting on a chair as well

Thoracic rotation hugs Lv1

Is it normal to feel so sore? It feels like I’ve been in a car accident. My joints hurt badly, especially my wrists. Any idea why this could happen? I’m pretty active workout our 5 days per week most weeks, it feels like I did something wrong.
