SEATED THORACIC SPRINKLER
The seated thoracic sprinkler is a mobility exercise that can be done while sitting on a chair or sofa. While sitting, begin the exercise by first placing one hand behind your head and the other arm between your thighs (palm on one leg and elbow on the other). While keeping the arm against the inner aspect of your legs rotate through the spine until the free elbow points towards the ceiling. Return back to starting position to complete a repetition.
