1/26/2024 0 Comments Thoracic mobility exercises![]() One of the best tools to improve thoracic spine mobility is to use a “peanut”. This will help you find which of the following exercises are most efficient for your body. I recommend performing each and re-testing your mobility after (with the rotation test in this blog). ![]() Today I want to share with you 6 exercises to help promote mobility in the thoracic spine. Fix the foundation first, then move on to the rest of your upper body. Just like the concrete that supports the walls of a house, your mid-back sets the foundation for the entire shoulder joint.Ī stiff thoracic spine that is unable to extend limits efficient shoulder blade movement, which then affects the mechanics and stability of the shoulder joint itself. If you are going to spend time and energy trying to fix a broken down house, you’re hopefully going to address the cracks in the foundation before painting the ugly walls. When addressing “weak links” in your upper body, mobility restrictions in the thoracic spine should always be tackled first before moving on to other areas that need help (such as lat flexibility or rotator cuff strength/stability). In order to have great technique when lifting and decrease your risk of shoulder injury you need an ample amount of mid-back extension. Jessie at the front desk is also wonderful and I love that they have direct billing.Welcome back to Squat University! Today’s blog is all about how to improve thoracic spine mobility. I would recommend Jack and Westcoast SCI Physio to anyone, especially those with long covid. Now I’m slowly getting back into running, my symptoms are better and I was able to increase my hours at work.He is so incredibly knowledgeable and thorough in his assessments and listened carefully to my concerns. He helped me identify triggers and return to exercise in a slow and safe way. Before I saw Jack I was stuck in a discouraging cycle of over doing it and then crashing hard.Exercise often gets a bad rap in the long covid community because it can make symptoms worse when overdone but Jack carefully adjusted my exercises to an intensity level that did not trigger my symptoms. I saw Jack for help returning to excercise while having long covid and he has helped me SO much, more than I could have ever expected.Before catching covid I could run 10+ km but after, a short walk would leave me with fatigue, brain fog and headaches. He will take care of you!Also, the receptionist (I unfortunately forgot her name) is very kind and helpful. I highly recommend Rajveer to anyone experiencing dizziness and imbalance. He suggested 3 movements my mom can do daily to help her with her dizziness, balance and and eye and head coordination. Rajveer was very patient and kind throughout the process and even added some humour in. ![]() He discovered that she probably has Vestibular neoritis (damage to her ears’ nerve endings that caused her imbalanced walking and dizziness) and not vertigo as the doctor and herbalist had said. Rajveer asked many questions about my mom’s situation and did exercises to find out what the issue was. Although she has gone to all sorts of people: her doctor, acupuncturist, massage therapist, and Chinese herbalist (and was prescribed herbs), we realized after seeing Rajveer that they probably didn’t properly diagnose my mom and she didn’t see much improvement. She has been experiencing dizziness when she walks and when she moves her head. Rajveer (or Rickey) Singh was great in working with my mom.
