upper back stretch - with foam roller
New study* says 100 percent of adult humans spend too much time rounded through the shoulders.🧑🍼 👩💻 🤱
//
*The above statement is 💯 percent made up, but because I work with so many pregnant people and parents of young children it absolutely feels true to me.
//
Try this stretch and let me know if you feel like you can get more upright! If it helps, like it and share with a friend. If you have a question or aren’t sure how to stretch a particular spot, comment or DM. I can’t wait to chat!
//
Quick hack if you don’t have a #foamroller: roll up a pillow or a towel and place it under you just like I used my foam roller. The “rolling” aspect of the foam roller really doesn’t matter for this stretch.
//
Modification for pregnancy: if it feels like this big rib opening is too much (or feels like it could create or aggravate and existing #diastasisrecti consider: a smaller foam roller or rolled towel, a block under your head, simply extending (leaning back) less
