Thank you for a quick and to the point tutorial that doesn't over complicate the moves. I am a large person so finding ways that don't rely on core strength really help!
Outstanding Video! Thank you so much! The 1st exercise solved the problem I've had for several weeks. I wish that I could give this video 1,000,000 thumb's up.
great videos and very informative while being easy to understand! I have just started regular exercise and have had a few old problems show up. your videos are very helpfull
My back and shoulders have been sore recently, and this helped a lot actually. Online school and sitting at a desk all day have had taken a toll on my posture lol Thanks!
Dude loved the video very helpful! I’m a personal trainer myself. I have had physical jobs most of my life and played sports and this area has always been stiff tight and I put my stress tension there. My back cracks slightly a lot. I have used foam rollers mostly on my legs, this combination for the past two night has been my pre bed practice.
Very helpful video. What do you suggest about how I position my lumbar area as I work the midback? I have some lower back pain and do not want to make it worse if I stress the lower back. Thanks.
I am a 60 year old male. Pretty fit but keep getting upper back pain ( mostly when I’m sitting down and reading ) and sometimes mid- lower aches as well. I periodically use my roller. In fact I do the second to last roll you do with my hands behind my head. My question is , do you suggest I include this in my daily stretch routine? As I am only using it as needed for now.
Hello Dr. I’ve been using the foam roller for a few weeks now while in physical therapy. My thoracic spine used to be very stiff and now it pops in cracks all the time since I’ve been rolling it. Sometimes it’ll just pop in crack while breathing. Is this just due to the fact that I’ve loosen everything up and if so what should I do to get the popping to stop?
Great video, I’m doing these mobilizations. Question, for the thoracic paraspinal holds, is that 3-4 sets for each side and each position on the spine? For example, 3 sets on left side for each position on the spine such as lower middle and upper? This would total 9 sets on the left side plus additional 9 sets on right side? Thanks for clarifying.
Hi, Activ Chiropractic I feel a sharp pain when I lift right shoulder up just like you did in the thoracic parasoinal move, why is it painful? Also my back feels strong doing everyday work only sore when doing that move.
Hi, found you channle today, going to try some of your posture staff and formrolling. I do have pretty bad scoliosis and lift for 4 years now so my back muscles are pretty fucked up. Already stretching every day but unable to stretch so problemetic areas (maybe your streches will help). Nice work!!!
If the movements create more of the symptom stop and seek medical attention. But if the mobilisation is alleviating the pain. Chances are the mobilisation is help you and you may not have a bulging disc
Hello sir, I have been suffering from a rib out for 2 years and I came to know that problem when I visited a chiropractor, I took 4 to 5 sessions and I used to feel okay for only 2 to 3 days. But after that I used to feel the rib is still out and there is a lot of muscle tension near my shoulder blades (T7 and T9 ribs) I feel discomfort breathing and I get a stabbing pain and poking pain when I twist or turn! My question is does this heal with the excercises which u have shown in the video and can I continue my physical activities? Please help me!
For what its worth.. I have had terrible upper back spasms in early 20s. Stopped lifting weights and started walking running and foam rolling each evening. I find it extremely settling before bed and never any more spasm. I can now hang from a pull up bar and have noticed I am stand tall through my spine and core engaged properly. The moral of story is. If you have upper back pain or kyphosis go slow but make the foam roller your best friend. I meditate whilst doing it with headphones on. Get deeper into meditation via distraction
It’s best to always support the neck with your hands. Otherwise there is extreme crunching happening in a neck that can actually cause an injury. Hope that helps. 🌸
Best video I’ve seen for foam rolling the back... high quality and not annoying!!! Praise
Thank you for a quick and to the point tutorial that doesn't over complicate the moves. I am a large person so finding ways that don't rely on core strength really help!
Done these techniques while watching your video. I got up feeling an immediate sense of looseness in my back muscles. I'm coining it the "backgasm".
Love it short and sweet!! Thank you
I hope it helps

Not super high quality, but it does it’s job and we really like it!
How do you support your neck when you do thoracic junction?

Which one better soft one or little rugged one
Can i do these if i have scoliosis?😊
What’s the difference between high density and medium density foam ? Is one better for certain exercises ?
Same question.
I got hunch back with some forward head posture. Did this. it was painful. I'm alot taller now

Never do low mid back rolling

+Aremcl Rew THanks for watching . i hope these videos really help you
If you suspect a potential disc bulge in the thoracic region are these exercises still good to do? Or can you aggravate the condition doing them ...
If the movements create more of the symptom stop and seek medical attention.
But if the mobilisation is alleviating the pain. Chances are the mobilisation is help you and you may not have a bulging disc
@@Activchiro okay, thanks bro 😎.
I do my upper back every time

My back feels like it’s about to crack but it doesn’t what do I do?
I heard you shouldn't put foam rollers on the lower back?
yeah, this guy went just slightly too low at times but overall he's demonstrating use on the safe upper back region
Great exercises, but please, slow down the talking.
Jan you can just change the speed of the video
when i lean over the foam roller my neck really begins to hurt. what can i do?
He said in the video you can hold your neck up with your hands if that happens
safetyisnice oh ok, thank you

Id like to do this exercise but looks like ill have stiff neck afterwards :(

I thought these were just bull shit but damn my back feels loose as hell
I'm glad this video helped you
what the size of this foam roller ?
mr hassan 9 inches
*24 inches
Why not roll it on your back???
I went to a chiropractor he scammed me 1k and made my back worse
no dislike button so i'll assume this is okay
You need to slow down your voice isn’t easy to understand.
Why do you talk sooooo fast. Please pace yourself to get the best out of your knowledge
Just play the video on a slower speed...
There are video speed options lol
