The Impact of Staying Still

Stop for a minute and think about how long you've been sitting in the position you're in.

Staying in one position (and poor posture) impacts your thoracic (thr·a·suhk) spine mobility. Not good.

What is your thoracic spine?

Well, it's the middle section of your spine. It starts at the base of your neck and ends at the bottom of your ribs.

It's built to rotate, bend forward (flexion), and extend backward (extension).

When you lack movement in your T-spine, you might experience neck, shoulder, or lower back pain.

Adding daily thoracic spine mobility exercises will help get you out of pain.

But can also improve:

• Digestion: your abdominal organs get more space to work. Your poops might be more regular. ;)

• Breathing: increased ribcage mobility will improve the expansion and contraction of your chest.

• Posture: A mobile T-spine helps align the neck, shoulders, and lower back.
