*Upper Spinal Floor Twist
Upper Spinal Floor Twist
This stretch is essential for spinal health. Do it every day.
Begin on your side, with your hips and legs bent at 90o angles. Slowly rotate the chest and arm open, allowing the rib cage to stretch open. Do not allow the hips to roll open. Feel as if you are going to touch the back of your top shoulder blade to the ground. Keep the top arm in line with the chest. Breath in and on each exhale feel the rib cage open up even more.
Hold this position on each side for 1 minute.
Tip: if you need help keeping the hips from rolling open, place your back against a door jam to block the hip movement.
