About 70% of your rotation comes from your thoracic spine…
So when it’s stiff? Your body starts forcing movement somewhere else.
👉 Twist the wrong way → tweak your back
👉 Turn quick → neck pain
👉 Train hard → shoulders take the hit
That “random” pain? Not random.
💡 What’s really going on
Your thoracic spine is built to rotate and extend. If it can’t… your lower back and shoulders pick up the slack.
That’s where injuries start.
🔥 Fix it before it costs you
Better thoracic mobility =
✔️ Cleaner movement
✔️ Stronger lifts
✔️ Less wear and tear
✔️ More control in real life movement
👊 Real talk
If you sit a lot or feel constantly tight…you’re one bad twist away from feeling it.
🎯 Takeaway
Free up your mid-back…and your whole body moves better.
