SPIDERMAN ROTATIONS

The Spiderman rotation exercise is a thoracic mobility exercise while in a split squat position. The goal is to improve thoracic extension and rotation, as well as your overhead reach shoulder mobility. The spiderman position is used to stretch out the trail leg hip flexors and front leg hamstrings at the same time.

Muscles Involved:

  • Rhomboids

  • Trapezius

  • Serratus Posterior Superior

  • Levator Scapulae

  • Obliques

  • Hip Flexors

  • Hamstrings

Related Conditions
