Thoracic Rotation

Thoracic rotation helps increase range of motion, mobility, flexibility, and strength throughout the spine and lower lumbar.

Trainer’s Tips

  • Do not allow your shoulders to round forward during the exercise. Pull your shoulders back and keep your chest up the entire time.
  • Do not allow your lower back to overarch during the movement. Keep your core tight and brace your abs to prevent injury.
