BEAR HUG ROTATION

This is a thoracic spine mobility exercise that aims to increase thoracic rotation and extension while also uncoupling movement from the scapula. This is important for those who tend to compensate with their shoulder for the lack of thoracic rotation or extension (leading to shoulder pain or impingement).

Structures Involved:

• Thoracic Spine

Related Conditions:

• Shoulder Impingement

• Rotator Cuff Tear

• Costochondritis

• Rib Joint Irritation

• Thoracolumbar Syndrome
