Step by Step

If you need to improve the general range of movement in your mid back then this is an excellent group of exercises
Remember these exercises should be pain free during after and the next day. The most that you should feel is a strong stretch sensation
Each exercise should be repeated for 10 repetitions and you should aim to perform all of these exercises between 4 to 6 times per day
Thoracic Flexion
Sitting in a good posture with your arms crossed across your chest, gently round your upper back as far as you can and return to the start position
Upper Thoracic Extension
Link you fingers together around the back of your neck and bring your elbows together at the front. Now lift your elbows up to so that your head, neck and arms move as one. Make sure your lower back doesn’t arch and that only your upper back arches
Once you can’t go any further then return to the start position
Lower Thoracic Extension
Lying on your front in a press-up position. Place your hand at shoulder width apart but above shoulder height. Next use your arms to push up so that your back arches but your pelvis remains on the ground. Once you can’t go any further then return to the start position.
Thoracic Rotation
Sitting in a good posture with your arms crossed across your chest, gently twist your body to the right and then to the left
Flexibility takes time to establish so be patient as it could takes several months to achieve improvements
